I installed Ubuntu 14.10 alongside windows 8.1 and it was working fine until I ran the CHKDSK command in windows now when I restart the PC, there is no GRUB screen and the PC boots directly into windows. I used the boot-repair-disk but no luck. My secure boot is off and I also tried to reinstall GRUB using this but still no luck. I know there are A LOT of threads similar to this but I have tried methods given in several of those but no luck :( Here is the URL I got after using the recommended repair option in Boot-repair:
Use a Ubuntu Live CD, launch a terminal console and type:
sudo su Enter
gparted Enter
Observe what is the Ubuntu partition. Probably it will be /dev/sda2. Assuming that, then, it closes gparted and (sudo is not required because you are already root with sudo su):
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt Enter
mount -B /dev /mnt/dev Enter
chroot /mnt Enter
grub-install /dev/sda Enter
reboot Enter
Then you will have grub2 re-installed.
