In such case I boot from ubuntu usb and do mount /dev/sdaX /mnt mount /dev/sdaY /mnt/boot mount -B /proc /mnt/proc mount -B /sys /mnt/sys mount -B /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt grub-install /dev/sda where sdaX is your root and sdaY is your boot (if you have such, else ommit) I hope this helps regards PS: Also check bios if it points to boot from the SSD - some optiplex are picky Perhaps do this first
