Do you still have the install CDs? You might just pop in the first one, usually the distros detect an existing OS and offer to repair any damage, including damage to the boot loader. "fdisk" told you the file system type: 82 (linux) meaning ext2 or ext3. Hum. Out of my depth here... Well, the GRUB manual says: "16 : Inconsistent filesystem structure This error is returned by the filesystem code to denote an internal error caused by the sanity checks of the filesystem structure on disk not matching what it expects. This is usually caused by a corrupt filesystem or bugs in the code handling it in GRUB." With which parameters did you run fschk?

I assume that you have dual boot system with Linux and Windows 7. Is that correct? It seems that the GRUB menu is corrupt. I suggest you boot with Windows 7 installation disk and then run Startup Repair. After that the Linux boot entry will be removed. If you can boot into Windows 7 correctly, please refer the following website to rebuild the boot menu.
