  1. Boot to ubuntu.

  2. Format your bootable partition with gparted.

  3. In gparted set the bootable flag again to the formatted partition.

  4. Run sudo update-grub to reinstall grub.



Explanation: As there is no mint, grub won't detect the kernel, but it will reinstall itself to mbr with ubuntu kernel.



If you messed up everything and want to correct things. Boot a live cd and install boot-repair



    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && sudo boot-repair
