I got notebook with broken Windows booting and I have found some tricks how to repair it. I copied CMD from web and paste it to terminal. Imediately after pasting the CMD it executes with wrong disk. Then I tried to restart my computer and it says:

No boot signature in partition.

The CMD was:

sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr

Does anyone know how to repair it?

I don't know much about boot stuff, but it sounds as if something has been overwritten. Try using testdisk. To do so, get a live CD or USB, boot into it, and in a terminal type:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install testdisk

and then run

sudo testdisk

and try this guide.

Ok, I had to create bootable USB stick with same OS Ubuntu 16.04 and follow this:

It restore grub...
