5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is.
6. Quit grub by typing "quit".
7. Reboot.

Windows always does this worst thing. Always when i installed windows after linux then MBR is overwritten and Grub is gone! To recover it in Redhat installs we use this, insert the boot cd then type 'linux rescue' (without quotes) and type the following:

Code:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda
