I used to have that problem when I used to install grub to MBR on dual 
boot system, then deleted linux partitions. It seems grub can't find the 
boot files (probably because of a partition issue). Can you boot with a 
live CD and list your partitions? If the issue is not a partition issue, 
you may have to reinstall grub. If you're on a dual boot system with 
Windows, however, I wouldn't install it to MBR, I'd install it to a boot 
partition, made active (bootable flag), and use standard Windows MBR.
