Clearly you failed to read the 1st level support agreement... I quote:

"When you've no idea what to do next, pass the customer to 2nd level
support in Asia or Europe, whichever is likely to be awake..."

I also hope that you are wearing your 'lucky socks' this morning:

Also notice:

"Unknown MBRs/Boot Sectors/etc"

Unknown BootLoader on sda1 has a grub error & there is also an mbr on sda2.
/dev/sda2          15,390,331    78,163,967    62,773,637   f W95 Ext d
(LBA)
Plus there are errors in sda5:
Boot sector info:  According to the info in the boot sector, sda5 starts
at sector 63 but:
/dev/sda5          15,390,333    30,748,409    15,358,077   b W95 FAT32

At this point & recommend backing up all the Win partitions, making
/etc/grub.d/40_custom unexecutable & reinstall grub2 to /dev/sda.
