Ah damn this is exactly what happened a few days ago. My popos boot entry suddenly disappeared. I can still just boot from the physical ssd it's installed on, but I found it strange it just pooped out somehow. Any pointers on how to fix it?

    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. :/

    I haven't had it happen to me for a while now. I used to have a boot repair liveCD that'd always do the trick, but I don't think that specific distro even exists anymore.

    The gist is you'll want to boot a liveCD and use the liveCD to reinstall GRUB, I'm sure you can find the right incantation to do so online somewhere.
