How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)

I have two drives and I installed Ubuntu 17.10 while my Windows 7 drive was mounted. Therefore GRUB was accidentally installed to drive with windows 7. I've been using it for months and it's working ok, but how can I move GRUB to the drive where Ubuntu is installed?

I used a program called GRUB customizer and its install to MBR option, selecting /dev/sdf (the label of my Ubuntu hard disk).
That solved the problem.

Boot into Ubuntu. Open terminal and run
sudo apt install grub-pc grub-pc-bin
If this returns that GRUB is already installed, run
sudo apt remove grub-pc grub-pc-bin
CAUTION: Do not turn off your PC after unistalling GRUB as you will not be able to boot into any OS.
Then install GRUB using given command.
Then follow on screen instructions and choose your hard disk as a place to install GRUB
Voila GRUB is now installed on your hard drive.
