When you recovered Windows, you used the Windows bootloader which doesn't recognise linux. therefore you need to reinstall grub.

You will need an liveDVD or liveUSB Ubuntu or even better the Ubuntu-Secure-Remix disk.

If you opt for a standard Ubuntu live medium, you have to install Boot-Repair.

In Ubuntu live, open a terminal and run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair followed by sudo apt-get update

Install Boot-repair with sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair

Run Boot repair and follow instructions.
