I have done this myself, but only one time, so I don't rember the 
ditails... But You can bring grubb in to interaktiv mode att boot, 
examen your system (serch for grub menulists etc),  configure grub and 
write it to MBR. All You need is any media that boots with grub, both 
the install and live CD shuld be good.

Read allot about grub.... Gogle on 'grub rescue' or 'grub interactive' 
might help.
