Boot from Linux Live CD Ubuntu/Mint or any other
  1. mount your Linux installed partition to some mount point. here XY is the number of your Linux distro partition.

    sudo mount <root-partition[e.g. /dev/sdaXY]> <mount-point[e.g. /mnt/]>
    
  2. Now bind some essential live root partition directories to mounted root partition at /mnt.

    sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts && sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
    
  3. Now, change the root to newly mounted partition directory.

    sudo chroot <mount-point[e.g. /mnt/]>
    
  4. Now, install the GRUB using grub-install command at your HDD MBR.

    grub-install /dev/sda
    
  5. Finally update the grub entries to show newly detected partition operating systems.

    update-grub
    
  6. And at last unmount all the binded partition directories, and then reboot.

    sudo reboot
