Hey its really simple.Put the live cd in and then go to terminal after you enter into the live session.There type the following:

sudo grub

find /boot/grub/stage1

If you get "Error 15: File not found", try the following:

find /grub/stage1

Using this information, set the root device (fill in X,Y with whatever the find command returned):

grub> root (hdX,Y)

Install Grub:

grub> setup (hd0)

Exit Grub:

grub> quit

This should work.
