Simply boot from Linux CD and type Linux Rescue.
After following the setup steps, u'll enter into linux console.
Then type command:

chroot /mnt/sysimage

then type:

grub-install /dev/hda

then exit and restart ur comp.

Tryed when i gave grub-install/dev/hda it says no such file or directory exit.Even though i tried all hdas it say same thing.i done the following :


1.I have made boot lform linux 1 cd.


2.Then i have typed linux rescue.


3.It starts scan of language and keyboard.


4.Then it run's and show whether u want network interface i have pressed

yes.


5.Then it mount's under \mnt\sysimage and says if we want to go to root

directory type chroot\mnt\sysimage.And after clicking ok.shaw prompt

opens and i have the first command as chroot\mnt\sysimage.

6.It accepts the command and moves to next and there i have grub-install/dev/hda command.And after giving this command it says no
such file or directory exit's.Even though i have tried all hdas it prompts the same problem.

U told that u gave the command grub-install/dev/hda
It doesnt contain spaces!
Did u give space btw grub-install and /dev/hda ?
It should be grub-install /dev/hda

Nope, It gives option to upgrade bootloader
First when u boot from CD1, it loads u to command where u press ENTER to install fresh linux or type linux to upgrade. Do latter one and it will definitely load u to bootloader screen!

grub-install /dev/hda or grub-install /dev/sda?
try fdisk -l in chroot prompt.

Maybe your hardisk is not the primary master on your system .Like in mine its hdc not hda.Check that.
