Windows 8.1 came pre-installed in my laptop, I installed Debian 8 on dualboot, the day before yesterday I had to reset BIOS settings, after resetting BIOS is also reseted MBR for windows only, system kept booting windows. I tried several fixes but didn't work. I re-installed Debian 8 and installed a few updates and did sudo reboot. Now again it boots directly into Windows instead of showing grub2 menu for dualboot. Most of the time I like to use debian for it's speed performance and other awesome stuff but I sometimes also need windows for a few tasks. Any solution? >.> It's driving me crazy...

- Take a copy of any live Linux distro you like (I usually use my old Ubuntu CD)
- Boot live session
- Install boot repair (On Ubuntu -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair boot-repair) - Let it scan everything
- Click on recommended repair
- Reboot your system
This works for me almost every time.
