Try with Boot Repair.
First, you'll need to boot from a Ubuntu Live CD.
To restore the Grub bootloader, follow these steps.
Open a terminal from the Live CD, and run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
boot-repair
After a few seconds, Boot Repair's main window will open.
Click on Recommended repair
.
Reboot to test everything out.
If everything went well, you should be up and running now.

Do you have the right version of ubuntu? A fellow of mine got the 64 bit version instead the 32 bit. We spent three days trying to install it ... on an 32 bit pc! Thinking we had the 32 bit version, we tried a lot of advises and recommendations until we look at sources.list file, in which is recorded the version we were using. I suggest you check this small issue before anything else. Regards.
