Revos have an EFI bios, right? I used to get this all the time on my
Samsung Chronos, until I blew away the dual-boot and put it back into
legacy (aka "working") BIOS mode.
No need for this drastic action. I've dual booted Ubuntu with Windows
using EFI without a problem.
Boot-Repair <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair> on a
bootable USB stick will likely fix it. Under certain circumstances,
Windows updates will routinely destroy grub, so keep this stick handy.
Yes, boot repair is an excellent tool. The other route is to boot off
of a Ubuntu live cd, click on try Ubuntu and mount your drives to /mnt.
Chroot to /mnt and try to to reinstall grub. Look for errors and
correct them.
