A very simple answer would be to boot into the live CD/USB and run Boot Repair

Boot Repair PPA

  • Boot into Live CD/USB.

  • Type the following in terminal(one line at a time) 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair  
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair

  • Run Boot Repair

    Type in terminal
    sudo boot-repair 

    <p><strong>or</strong>   </p>

<p>type in Unity dash<br>
<code>Boot Repair</code>  </p>
  • Click the Recommended repair button
    enter image description here

After the process is finished close everything.
This should solve your problem.
