Just burn a Boot-Repair-Disk (http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/) and run boot-repair. That should fix it.

You can read about boot-repair here: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

How can he run boot-repair? Is it a command line tool or a GUI app? Is it installed by default on the Live edition? – Lucio Dec 15 '13 at 00:38
Oh, I indeed wrote livedvd instead of repair disc. Thanks for pointing out. – Pavel Dec 15 '13 at 07:52

I had that problem when I installed windows after Ubuntu. Had to delete the partition through windows, where Ubuntu is located, and reinstall Ubuntu. Now after restart I am able to select which version of Ubuntu to load and whether I want to load Windows.
