Not sure if this is on target but... I have had dual boot for quite a
while. Windows 7 and whatever is the latest Ubuntu with Ubuntu being the
default boot. The Ubuntu upgrade to 14.04 broke grub so the machine
wouldn't even boot.

The short of it
- created a bootable "SuperGrub" disk
- booted my system from it
- use BootRepair to restore the boot options/order
