    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it seems to be about booting Windows. Commented Dec 3, 2015 at 20:37

    This is on a twilight zone on multi OS, or even on a XY problem. Kali/Linux might affect MBR. we should keep this question open. Commented Dec 3, 2015 at 21:21

    @dhag It is about booting Windows, but after a Kali installation.. It's a bit peculiar that Kali somehow affected the MBR on another HDD, isn't it. And even when I ran dd to repair it, it didn't change a thing.. Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 10:21

    Eh, OK. I guess this is Twilight Zone issue... A good start would be to try to find out how much, if any, of the hardware is broken, and in what way. I would recommend trying to boot with the seemingly-faulty drive out, and see if Windows runs any better? Then perhaps try a memtest? Then maybe run a throughput test on both drives (slow performance and errors would be interesting too see). Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 15:22
  • @dhag Solid ideas, bud. I'll keep you guys posted. Commented Dec 5, 2015 at 16:18
