Ubuntu – Ubuntu missing from HP boot menu

dual-bootgrub2uefiwindows 8

I have a HP laptop with Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 dual booted. I used to use F9 key to enter boot menu and chose Ubuntu and then GRUB would appear where I would chose Ubuntu again. This was working fine all this while. Either a hardware change or a Windows update has caused the Ubuntu option to go missing from the boot menu itself.

How do I fix this and boot into Ubuntu again?

I fixed it by making a live USB, selecting try ubuntu, and reinstalling grub by using boot repair. Boot repair worked like magic. All I had to do was to select the option 'Recommended Repair'. Thanks for the answers
