Now that you mention it, back in the early days of Fedora Core, I successfuly
repaired a busted grub by booting to the install disk, selecting install,
telling it to use the existing Fedora partitions but not to format them, then
deselecting _all_ of the software. Later I learned about the recommended
procedure given below by Aaron Konstam, which is quicker and, I expect,
somewhat safer.
