Retrieve information from a Windows partition that cannot start up
Your Windows partition isn’t starting properly and always restarts to Windows Startup Repair, leaving nothing visible. You’re looking to remove the drive completely. Trying a Linux live USB helped access the disk, but it didn’t mount successfully. Consider using a clean boot or formatting option if you want to erase everything.
It seems the MBR, partition driver, or controller is malfunctioning. If the external source (MINT) failed to mount the drive, you likely need to consider professional recovery methods. You should weigh the costs against your data requirements and recovery needs.
