LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Grub loader shows Windows, but Windows load comes up with boot error 0xc0000225

Hello, I am a newbie to Linux. I am taking a class on it and I needed to have Fedora 15 installed on my Windows 64 Home Premium laptop. I used a live usb stick to do so. Since this was the first time I was doing this I used the guide How to dual-boot Fedora 15 and Windows 7. When I restarted the computer I didn't get the option to load Windows or Fedora, just the live disk. So, thinking that the install didn't work I re-installed Fedora again except I chose to Replace Existing Linux System(s) instead of Shrink Current System like I did on the first install and kept all the other options the same. The grub loader shows

Fedora (2.6.43.8-1.fc15.i686)
Fedora (2.6.43.8-1.rc1.fc15.i686)
Windows

When I saw this I realized what I did wrong. After I installed Fedora the first time and rebooted my computer the computer rebooted from the live usb stick that was still plugged into it. I logged into the first Fedora entry and everything was fine there. I restarted the computer and chose to boot Windows which did not work. I received the below message:

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software chanfe might be the problem....
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.

I pulled up disk utility and it says it's sda1 NTFS partitioning as Master Boot Record but it's not mounted for some reason. I mounted the drive then rebooted my computer and tried to boot Windows and it would not work. I also noticed through disk utility that the sda2 partition would not mount when I tried to mount it. It gave me this reason:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (624726771): Invalid argument
HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet,
or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...),
or a wrong device is tried to be mounted,
or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),
or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid).
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

I also ran Boot Info Script to get a full view of everything. The results are below.

I've been scouring Google and different places to find out some way to get my Windows to work. Thank you guys for taking the time to read this and help. Any help given is much appreciated!
