But I did want everyone to know that GRUB2 cannot be recovered in certain situations, which is too bad. I would like to know if this is an OS-dependent operation or if GRUB should be able to be fixed in any situation.
I find it hard to believe that it can't be 'recovered' in pretty well any situation where the base OS install is OK. But it's certainly a lot more involved than the older versions.
In effect, if you go through the motions used to do an initial install, then you should be able to fix an existing install. When doing a manual install, you can mount your target OS partitions while running from a live CD/DVD/USB drive, mount a few directories (such as /dev) in it, then chroot and do a grub-install.
If you find yourself at a GRUB> menu, then you should also be able to manually specify initrd and kernel before booting.
