You can do the same/similar thing using Slackware 8.x CD, or 
Tomsrtbt floppy or the BBC CD etc. etc. 
I think Tomsrtbt will be most suitable in your case, google for 
it, download the latest version and install it to a floppy and use it
to recover your linux installation. You will have to do a fdisk -l to 
list your partitions and locate your root partition. Mount it under
/temp and chroot to /temp. Then proceed to reinstall grub as 
instructed earlier.
