1. As a user do
dpkg -l | grep grub
Please post the output of this command.
2. Suppose there are four packages listed. As root do
apt-get --reinstall install <package_name>
for each package
<package_name> is in the second column of the 'dpkg -l' output.
So, for example
apt-get --reinstall install grub-common
apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc
apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc-bin
apt-get --reinstall install grub2-common
is what I would do on my machine. For the grub-pc reinstall please post
the lines which begin "Found ....." in the output.
3. As root run the command
os-prober
and post its output.
