I have windows 10 installed on partition 4 which is hibernated (but I'm able to mount it in read-only mode from Linux), but I cannot boot into it because I had removed the Windows bootloader. I also have Linux Mint 17.1 installed on partition 5 (into which I regularly boot). I need to boot into Windows 10 but I can't figure out how. I have tried lots of things including using boot-repair, adding menu-entries to grub's menu manually (as mentioned here), and some other things mentioned in Linux forums.
I have been searching for a solution for a long time. Lots of solutions include the usage of "Windows recovery disks" and/or usage of Windows software, however I can't do any of that. All I have with me is Linux Mint and a non-bootable but mountable Windows 10.
This is the output of parted -l

Edit: this is the new boot-info summary by boot-repair.
I have Grub bootloader currently which shows only the Linux Mint 17 entry. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
