i'm not sure how you do that in grub. in lilo, what i do after
windows has overwritten the MBR is:
1. boot from any rescue CD (the mandrake install CDs
work well, knoppix is fine too, i used to make boot
floppies but my boxes don't have floppies anymore).
2. go to a shell prompt in the rescue CD.
3. become root
4. mount the root partition as /mnt (e.g.,
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda1 /mnt
5. chroot /mnt, e.g.,
cd /mnt
chroot /mnt
6. restore lilo by running the lilo command
lilo
i suppose you could do the same with grub (but i'm not
really sure, since i don't really know how grub works).
