Not sure what's going on. You're two attachments are showing two different setups. The one with the GParted screenshot is showing a 500GB HD with GPT partitions. It looks like you've got Window installed in EFI-mode and a Linux distro (possibly Mint) installed in CSM/Legacy-mode on that drive. It's also got two separate EFI System Partitions, which is rather strange. Are you able to boot up Windows on that HD if computer is in EFI-mode? If you switch mode to CSM/Legacy, can you then boot Mint?
The second attachment looks more like what you described in your first post. There is /dev/sda, a 250GB HD with the partitions you described and two other HD's that are 320GB. For this /dev/sda, can you boot into Windows on this one? If so, go ahead and do that. Then open Windows Disk Management and take another screenshot of the drive from there. Post the screenshot at a pastebin site like this: http://imagebin.ca/. Then post the link produced for it back here for us to use to get to your pic. (I don't remember how to post a pic directly here.)
P.s. The first 500GB HD above sounds vaguely familiar to me. Did you post a question about that on a different forum (possibly Mint's) and did I try helping you with that before? If you're still trying to resolve that drive's boot problem (I'm guessing it's not working right), can you post a link to that forum post of yours to refresh my memory of what's been tried already?
