Error 15 means that somefile is missing.. but the disk partition info is all well..
so i think you should be able to boot into windows..

I don't know how to fix such an error,.. but I think reinstallation would be a good option.. Try it once again.. ( this time check the image's MD5 checksum)..

And if you can't boot into windows.. then try restoring grub...

Highlight "Ubuntu" from boot menu,
press "e"
Highlight Kernel line
Press "e"
goto "..//vmlinuz"
remove "/"
press "b"

Let us know what happens
