dual boot - 14.04 - grub rescue: no such device

I have decided to retry installing Ubuntu when 14.04 came out... and I doomed my computer again. I have Windows 7 installed, and I followed this guide to dual boot. After installation, I see the GRUB rescue screen, telling me there is no such device (followed by a rather long set of letters an numbers).


I am unable to boot into either Windows or Ubuntu. Last time I had this error, I just ran boot repair and it fixed it, but this time, even that won't work. (To install boot repair, I had to change the repository distribution to 'saucy', otherwise it doesn't find the package.)


I tried boot repair twice:

2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7271773/


To at least save Windows, what are my options?
