The boot repair disc I have used, and it is close to miraculous IMHO is
http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/

I note it seems to use an Ubuntu Font, but I do not know if it uses 
Ubuntu in fact.
I have used it for Windows and Ubuntu, including in I think fairly 
complex multiboot  PCs. I have only needed to use the basic offerings, 
however if they are anything to go by the other stuff must be good. 
The author posts too, I think, in Ubuntu forums. Development ongoing.

I recommend at least a try. Keep it around.
