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.
