Sounds like you will need to reinstall Grub from the CD

something like this snipped from
"http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/";


Hereâs the quick and easy way to re-enable Grub.

1) Boot off the LiveCD

2) Open a Terminal and type in the following commands, noting that the
first command will put you into the grub âpromptâ, and the next 3
commands will be executed there. Also note that hd0,0 implies the first
hard drive and the first partition on that drive, which is where you
probably installed grub to during installation. If not, then adjust
accordingly.

    sudo grub

    > root (hd0,0)

    > setup (hd0)

    > exit

Reboot (removing the livecd), and your boot menu should be back.
