Need to recover your Grub bootloader after Windows has overwritten the MBR on a dualboot system? Here's the howto in a few quick steps.
- boot from a Linux LiveCD like one of these.
- type 'sudo grub' to open the grub prompt (e.g., "grub>")
- type 'find /boot/grub/stage1' to find a installable location (e.g., hd0,2).
- type 'root (hd*,*)' ... and replace the asterisks with the output from step 2.
- type 'setup (hd0)' to install grub to the mbr.
- type 'quit' to exit grub.
