windows XP deleted bootloader,need to reinstall it

[devesh gade]

hello...sorry for being late....
anyways,the output  of the fdisk -l command is as folows:

                  Boot      Start     End        Id            System
/dev/sda1       *         ....           ....        ...
HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2                  ...         ...          ...               Linux
/dev/sda3                 .....         ....         ....             Linux
LVM
/dev/sda4                 ....         ....         .....             W95
Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5                 ...          ...             ...
HPFS/NTFS

Once the system mounted on /mnt/sysimage ,I performed the following steps:
On running the 'grub-install /dev/sda1' comand, the output is
Unrecognized command /sbin/grub
On running 'whereis grub-install' i get output as
grub-install:/usr/sbin/grub-install

Then i use this path to run the command,however it gives same output as in
the first case.
Please corect me if i have gone wrong anywhere above.
So the question remains-how do i install the grub??
