Added code tags, Please use code tags on any long post of code or listings.

With BootInfo you just need to post link to pastebin that Boot-Repair gives.

Boot Repair added syslinux boot loader which works just like Windows to MBR. The only info on grub you still have is /bootsec.bak.

Does it not boot Windows now?

With Windows auto repair often does not work. You have to use the command line in the repair console.

You have two Windows installs and Windows only boots from the one with the boot flag or the active partition.
Make sure boot flag is set for any partition you try to repair.

I just spent about two hours trying to diagnose identical symptoms on Saucy. Ended up re/installing the grub-pc package, and everything immediately started working again.
