try opening a terminal (either windows-key, type terminal, or ctrl+alt+T) and doing a:

sudo update-grub

fixed it for me...

Failing that, you might need to reinstall Grub completely. There's some instructions here

I've used boot-repair in the past, but it looks like it might be as simple as just doing a

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

the important thing is to use the device (sda) not the partition (eg sda6)
