ubuntu-ca Digest, Vol 30, Issue 15

[Linux]

1) Boot off the LiveCD

2) Open a Terminal and type in the following commands, noting that the 
first command will put you into the grub "prompt", and the next 3 
commands will be executed there. Also note that hd0,0 implies the first 
hard drive and the first partition on that drive, which is where you 
probably installed grub to during installation. If not, then adjust 
accordingly.

    sudo grub

     >find /boot/grub/stage1 (this will find the stage1 file and tell
    you what to use for the rest of the commands. hd0,1 or sda2,3 etc)

     > root (hd0,0)

     > setup (hd0)

     > exit

Reboot (removing the livecd), and your boot menu should be back.
