From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Welcome, this is the Linux user equivalent of popping your cherry.
You have a few options, but the easiest is to just use a rescue thing like Rescatux on a USB drive that automates most of the process. If you haven't the means of flashing a USB drive (like another computer) but still have your linux installation USB drive, most distros offer a "rescue existing install" option somewhere in their installer/liveUSB. But you'll have to search around.
Same thing happened to my windiws oc way back in 2002. Hdd crash wrecked its boot loader
