Please attach your grub.cfg file. Make sure it's the actually used file: 
if your computer launches Grub with the config from one partition, and 
you post the config from another partition, it would be worst then 
useless, it would confuse.
Also, use "e" key over the Grub option you are trying to boot. Edit the 
kernel boot line an remove any reference of "splash" or "quiet". Boot 
this option and describe what you see. Even better, take a picture of 
your screen. It will probably tell what's the problem and why your 
system can't boot.
Note that this change will NOT be persistent, the next boot you will 
have the original configuration, unless you edit grub.cfg.

Yes, seems like a quite standard dual-boot setup.

In order to make sure they do not conflict with each other, like both 
systems attempting to have it's boot loader within MBR, consider to 
configure one of them to use it's partition's MBR, not the whole disk's MBR.
So, one system could boot normally, via a Grub option, and there will be 
another option to chain-load Grub form other system's partition and 
select it's own boot option.
