Dual boot problem

I am having problem because of the dual boot. First some weeks back I installed ubuntu 12.04 and then yesterday I uninstalled it by repairing MBR using windows DVD. After that I installed Linux Mint but the grub boot loader is not coming instead I am booting directly in windows. Please help.

I don't have internet connection so please give a offline solution which involves minimum download and not like 100MB+ Download.

EasyBCD is the way to go.

Please give a detailed information. I am new in linux and just getting used to it.

EasyBCD is used for editing the boot entries which helps in bringing the boot menu of missing OS

Lets check if Mint has been installed successfully. Boot up from Mint LiveCD/USB, open Terminal and execute this

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

Post output here.

* Its small L in fdisk -l.

Thanks guys problem solved using Easy BCD.

Special thanks to kisame for suggesting EasyBCD and Zangestu for explanation.
