So luckily the elementary os linux live cd is still stored on the flash disk. I installed it then entered the live cd.

  1. Run Live cd then select try linux.
  2. On the linux home screen, open terminal.
  3. Type sudo su to login as super user (root)
  4. Type fdisk -l to find the linux partition. In this case my linux os is on /dev/sda6

  5. Type mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
  6. Type grub-install –root-directory /mnt /dev/sda
  7. Type update-grub
