No no wait, grub2 doesn't have menu.lst, it's depriciated.

From what you have posted avobe for fdisk -l screenshot it looks like /boot doesn't have bootable flag, that could also be a problem.

So boot from Live CD. Go to Terminal. Run

sudo fdisk /dev/sda

and it'll ask for command, press "a" and it'll ask for partition number, so provide the partition number for /boot (which in your case I guess is /dev/sda9 so press 9), and then press "w", and reboot and post the result.

I wish this solves your problem.

Once you get your ubuntu back just boot into it and run sudo update-grub2 and it'll automatically add windows to the list.

Well, I've no idea now...

You can try this Boot Problems Open Source Tools | Super Grub Disk, Super Grub2 Disk and Rescatux

Once I used it to fix mine.

Give it a try.

No idea about USB Image, I downloaded CD Image, it restored Ubuntu. And after booting into ubuntu I ran sudo update-grub2 and it updated grub with Windows. So basically I got both.
