How to reinstall GRUB?

[Ow Mun Heng]

I'm sorry to say this but I really hate when ppl reply/write in html form.
that means I've to resort to
top posting. since if I change it back to text-format, I'll have to type in
the ">" myself.. 
 
That aside.. (no need to rant, we all have our shortcomings :) Like my email
server's "ability" to munch the
threading)
 
Okay.... This should be what you do.. 
 
Boot using the FC1 Disc 1 CD. Type in "Linux rescue" at the boot prompt
 
after that, it should tell you that your FC1 partition is mounted at X
location..
 
so.. just  "chroot /mnt/sysimage"
 
then grub-install --root-directory=/dev/hdaX (X is depending on where is
your / partition)
or if you have a separate /boot partition, should be something like
 
grub-install --root-directory=/boot  /dev/hdaX
 
Try that..

Hi All, 

I just installed windows XP on my laptop which already had windows and
Fedora C1 installed. As a result MBR was overwritten. I tried reinstalling
GRUB but booting from FC1 CD1 under rescue mode but it couldn't find any
linux partitions on my machine. 
How can i get GRUB back in my MBR? 

many thanks 
Vikas
