Toshiba Laptop can't find Ubuntu on boot


I just installed ubuntu via a USB to my toshiba satellite laptop.

I went back into the live USB and everything was installed on the hard drive and if I try to re install it recognizes there is already a copy of the OS on the drive. Why won't the laptop find it?
p.s I had windows 8.1 before installing if that is of any importance.

another possible answer here: How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)


sadly don't know if it is really the boatloader. would be good if some experienced user comments here
