   One reason I'm not analyzing these pictures,   
   is you have to "build up" your computer, one   
   piece at a time.   
      
   You can't expect to "hammer downwards" and "tame" errant   
   pieces of this and that, with your magic wand.   
      
   If you don't want the other OSes, delete the OS giblets,   
   so that nobody, not the OS itself, nor any OS-prober, can   
   detect them.   
      
   Clean up the component disks.   
      
   Either work on each disk separately, repairing the   
   broken images on each one.   
      
   Or move the data off them (somewhere) and make   
   data partitions in their place.   
      
   To sit around doing "this and that" with that mess   
   plugged in, is pointless. It's just a big "maintenance time suck".   
   You'll be constantly hitting the side of the boiler   
   with your hammer, trying to get heat out of it.   
      
   You could, if you wanted, put all the Windows 10 on   
   one disk drive, and have them managed by the   
   Windows 10 boot manager.   
      
   Put all your Ubuntu distros on one disk drive. Have   
   them handled by Grub. Disable OS-prober.   
      
   Manage the boot using the popup boot menu (select   
   the Windows disk or the Ubuntu disk).   
      
   Many things are possible. They take thought and planning.   
      
   But lugging around a set of side-effects, from two   
   hard drives you're not using, doesn't make sense.   
   Build a setup that does makes sense. Build a setup   
   you like, not the one I like.   
      
   Just about everything on those disks, can be torn   
   apart and reassembled, and lashed together again.   
   And Arlen is the person to do it. A little Macrium   
   here (partition movement), some LiveCD there, and   
   you can fix it.
