Hi,
See viewtopic.php?f=42&t=348629
You can create this flashdrive on your system after booting from a Mint Live flashdrive.
You could then run 'sudo update-grub' from a terminal, which should pick up your Windows installation. You may need to reinstall Grub, depending on what your hardware is and how much damage Windows has caused. It should be an easy fix.

Go to your BIOS, boot order section, and check if Windows Boot Loader hasn't been moved up to the #1 position and your Mint (Ubuntu) isn't now down in #2. There was a recent GRUB2 update and some BIOS (Insyde was mine) will reorder the boot sequence when the GRUB version updates (I found from experience--doesn't make sense but I've seen it with my own eyes). I rejected the recent GRUB2 update because I didn't feel like going into my BIOS should it bork the sequence again. Not saying this is what happened to you, but it could be......
