How can I fix the boot partition?

Was there some event you think caused the problem?   How old is the hard disk?   Before 
spending time trying to recover the system, you should run some disk diagnostics.   If your 
drive is old and you don't have a good backup you might be better off copying important 
stuff from the old disk to a new disk.

You may be able to get a CD image from the drive's vendor (assuming you can figure out what company 
has support for your model) and you can install the smartmontools from a live boot and run the long test.
