Here's an article on how to fix it.

TLDR: You need to boot from a live disk, mount your install and reinstall the bootloader.

I still need to fix mine, thanks for the link. The weirdest break it did once was messing with my Wi-Fi driver, managed to break Linux' driver somehow, making the Internet a no go. Still no idea how Windows managed that though, they shouldn't be messing with my bios. :/

Make sure you disable fast boot in Windows. I’ve read that can put devices into a state where Linux can’t use them.
