I am kinda lost here. I am not very experienced with ubuntu and might need a little detailed solution. I installed Windows 10 after ubuntu 16.10 and when I try to reinstall grub2 and it gives me the following error: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? Please help!


Try this:

Boot the Ubuntu Live Usb-Dvd.

Open a terminal,

Press Ctrl+Alt+T

Run it:

sudo -i
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --bootloader-id=ubuntu  --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt/boot/efi  
reboot
