"Boot from a LIVE DVD (in my case Linux Mint booting from USB key drive)
If you don't know the location of the linux partition, you can determine the partition that Mint is installed on by:
Open terminal and run
sudo gparted
Look for the large EXT4 partition and make a note of what it says on the far left such as sda6
Close gparted
In terminal enter:
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt (replace sda6 with whatever is appropriate for your system)
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda (note there is a space between mnt and /dev and do not put a number after sda)
Restart the computer and you should have your grub menu available again."
But in order to boot from a different medium when Windows 10 is installed, we may need to go through some hoops, as mentioned in this post.
