From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Burn a live Linux system onto a USB (can be one with just a terminal, like Arch Linux). If you don't have another computer to plug the USB into, this can be done on an Android phone using EtchDroid.
Then, boot from that USB and mount your main filesystem. Inside of the Live system, chroot into the mounted filesystem and run
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfgwhich should fix the bootloader.After that, you can just exit the USB system and return back to your OS which should boot now.
(If you don't know how to mount a filesystem or chroot, I would explain but I forgot how to do it. If someone else could explain that would be neat)
