Partition table entries are not in disk order
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is your problem.

How did you repartitioned system?

I recommend you to start from really scratch.  Yes, installing WINDOWS.

1. Check BIOS DISK set up (LBA or not)
2. Let windows-fdisk create all the partitions as DOS.
3. Install Windows to /dev/hda1
3. Use Linux boot disk to change type with fdisk and mke2fs
4. Install Linux

Cheers.
