Ok here's what I did in case anyone else has to do this:

Booted up ran a terminal session, when root and issued:


grub-install /dev/hda  <did not work>

so I mounted :   mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/hda2
grub-install /dev/hda   <did not work>

grub-install /mnt/dev/hda2 <did did not work>

grub /mnt/dev/hda2   <throws me into 'grub>'>
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit


reboot Works great!

Thanks Neil....
