Your problem is one disk is uefi and the other mbr so the mbr cant boot in uefi mode and the uefi wont boot in mbr mode you would have to update 7 to uefi and then it would work but not an simple thing to do. you could use 7 as a virtual pc

Everything seems to be OK.
Did you do any change on the partitions before it couldn't boot?
What happens when you try to boot it on the desktop? Does it give any error message?

No I didn't touch any of the partitions, to be honest I didn't even know the C drive had an extra partition on it until trying to sort these issues out.
After upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 the system constantly had issues.
The upgrade was done via the MS free download offer.
For years I tried to upgrade but with the media creation tool I always got an error, I even contacted MS years ago and they just said your hardware is too old.
Recently though some software I've been using stopped supporting Win 7 so I decided to do a bit of research and found what the issue was, lo-and behold the update worked but since then the PC ran very flaky.
One time it reset the BIOS & I had to restore all of the settings from the saved profile.
I have had the following errors after running various commands suggested on the forum, before I just got the blue repair, open a command prompt, reset windows etc screen.

Did you ever do a clean install, that is, booting from a Win 10 installation drive, deleting everything on the main drive and install a clean Win 10?

I can only think of a Win 10 clean install.
- Backup all your data on another drive.
- I suggest you build the USB Win 10 22h2 installation drive using MCT so it can boot as Legacy or UEFI.
- Update your BIOS. Do it under BIOS (Easy Flash)
- Windows can be installed in two ways: Legacy-MBR or UEFI-GPT
To install as Legacy-MBR you must boot the installation drive as Legacy
To install as UEFI-GPT you must boot the installation drive as UEFI.
If you have a UEFI BIOS, you should install as UEFI-GPT (Seams that P6X58D-E has only Legacy BIOS)
Detach any other drives (SATA or Power cable) from the MB.
During POST, press F8(?) to launch the boot menu. You will see two options for the USB drive. USB UEFI (Name) and USB (Name). Select USB UEFI (Name) if you want to install as UEFI-GPT or select USB (name) if you want to install as Legacy-MBR.
Go to install and delete ALL partitions on the main drive till you have one and only one unallocated space and then proceed.
If you don't want to use MS account, don't enable updates or connect to the internet during installation.
