    Probably you did not install Grub correctly. Maybe you have chosen the wrong disk where to install Grub.

You can find a site to download a boot repair disc like this http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ burn it and then start the system. It will repair your boot. Otherwise press the F12 when windows starts and see If Ubuntu is on boot devises.

  1. Boot a liveDVD or liveUSB
  2. Check where Ubuntu is installed. If your Ubuntu partition is on say sda4 then you should install grub on sda without the last digit.
  3. Open a terminal (ctrl + alt + T) an type sudo grub-install /dev/sda changing sda accordingly.
