Today i just received a new internal hard Hard drive for my HP Elitebook 840 G2 So i installed Ubuntu 14.04LTS, the installation was successful then i rebooted and i see no grub and Ubuntu not starting. It tells me i dont have an operator system installed. The only way to start to start Ubuntu for me is to go in the menu EFI/boot/grubx64.efi and press enter into this. Same things for Linux Mint. I would like to know how to install Ubuntu or Mint and having the grub ?

You need to Reinstall Grub using a Ubuntu Live CD.
Mount the partition your Ubuntu Installation is on
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
example:sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Now bind the directories that grub needs access to to detect other operating systems:
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot, install, check, and update grub
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sdX
grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX
update-grub
exit the chrooted system and unmount everything.
exit
sudo umount /mnt/sys
sudo umount /mnt/proc
sudo umount /mnt/dev/pts
sudo umount /mnt/dev
sudo umount /mnt
Reboot your system.
