Got no Ubuntu 16.04 access after reinstalling Windows. I'm using Boot Repair with live USB version of Ubuntu 16.10. After clicking "Recommended repair" I got this message as shown in the below screenshot:
Please enable a repository containing the [grub2] packages in the software sources of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (sdb8). Then try again
Also two other windows pops up. How do I enable the correct repository?
grub2 repository boot-repair

Boot Repair didn't work work me. After a lot of searching and trying I finally managed to regain access to my Ubuntu with following set of commands:
sudo mount /dev/sdb8 /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
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sdb
grub-install --recheck /dev/sdb
update-grub
exit
sudo umount /mnt/sys
sudo umount /mnt/proc
sudo umount /mnt/dev/pts
(All commands were executed in LiveUSB)
