Incredible frustration at Grub/linux!

[Justin Zygmont]

I do this all the time, just the other day in fact, with the drive you 
gave me.  I image drive to drive andthen grub just needs to get 
reinstalled, then it should work.  type:

grub

then at the grub prompt type:

root (hd0,0)
find /boot/grub/stage1
setup (hd0)
quit

of course substituting 0,0 for your correct drive/partition.
