Bob I haven't went thru all my e-mail and I don't know if any one has answered your question.
If you have a grub boot disk. You can find your menu list by running this command. find /boot/grub/stage1 To get grub reinstalled. root(hdx,x) # x meaning the harddrive and partion the above gave. setup(hd0) # to put grub back on your hardrive. I finally wrote down the commands so the next time I wiped grub I could reninstall it.
