Grub doesn't appear Ubuntu 14.04
I have a problem when I start my computer. The problem is that when I start the computer, grub doesn't appear but it is installed. Firstly, I installed Ubuntu instead of Fedora 21 (I had Windows 8.1 but it was erased too). Then, when I started the computer, the screen shown a purple frame and a black square inside. I tried to 're-install' grub, with the following commands:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo update-grub
I followed these instructions: Grub menu won't show up after updating Ubuntu, can boot only into Windows
At this point, I could see that when I started the computer, the screen shows a purple square, without the black frame. The grub config is by default.
Furthermore, I tried to re-install Ubuntu and I made an installation from scratch, but it doesn't work again. I have the same issue. I don't have more partitions, so I don't know what is happening. Also, I didn't find this problem searching in the web (maybe it is, but I didn't find it).
I'm not used to asking about doubts or troubles, so I don't know if it is the right place and if I have to put more info.
Thanks!

You have to boot into your BIOS and select which OS to boot in the (U)EFI menu. See askubuntu.com/questions/221835/….

You might have to create a separate /boot partition(if you have not done it already during installation)
I think this can help you: boot partition
