If the contents are still intact and not corrupted you can just restore the grub by typing the following in the terminal 1. $ sudo fdisk -l Find the root(/) partition of your Ubuntu , it will be something like /dev/sda1 or sda2 .... Eg. Lets say it was /dev/sda4 2. $ sudo grub grub> root(hd0,3) grub> setup(hd0) Now grub will be restored and you can reboot.Hope it solved the problem
