The boot repair output shows that Syslinux is installed in the MBR of sdd, your windows drive. Does windows boot when you set that drive to first boot priority in the BIOS? Is that what you are referring to in your last post (booting the SSD)? I don't know how Syslinux got there since it is not a default with Mint or windows.

I think you will be better served by going to a windows forum to get advice on repairing the windows bootloader. I haven't used windows in well over a decade. The link below is to the microsoft site which discusses this problem and gives an explanation of various uses. The command you posted above should work according to microsoft if you get the correct drive letter. You indicated earlier that your windows is on drive D so you would need that to replace c in that command.

Are you using RAID or dynamic disks on windows. Not sure how that would affect your windows booting.

Thanks for this info. I have a RAID 0 short stoke setup for my E:. It's two 1TB drive short stoked to only use about 500GB between both of them. This was for when I used to game and wanted fast read speeds. What's odd is when I boot with my Recovered drive or by holding down shift and rebooting to the recovery X: drive what's normally my SSD C: drive when booting into windows becomes the E: drive. So, I'm assuming I should run this command and use E: instead of C:
bootsect /nt60 e: /mbr

However, since my system is Legacy MBR grub resides on sdc (the 596GB drive) you mentioned above I might have to potentially run this command against that drive which I think ends up being my D: drive when I boot off the recovery USB or by holding down shift.

I'll probably post on the Windows forums as you suggested before moving forward. I'll also just try to boot off my Intel0 SSD with F8 hot key to confirm it can boot into Windows. Appreciate all the input!

That is standard behavior on windows as any windows OS you boot into will show itself on the 'C' drive/partition. If you have multiple installs of different versions of windows (such as xp, vista, 7 or newer) each one you boot into will show itself as 'C'.

I'd definitely try booting from the drive on which you have windows installed before doing anything else. Again, I don't know why you have Syslinux installed on the MBR of that drive.

I would think that running the command to put the code on the windows drive, the one you refer to in your last post as the E drive would be correct as that is where the actual install of windows is. You would then set that drive as first boot priority in the BIOS to boot windows. I would post on a windows forum first.
