You're almost there. Try to mount all your partition under /mnt and run chroot
# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev # chroot /mnt /bin/bash # grub grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup (hd0) Take note that in root(hd0,1) 1 is where your boot partition reside, then your /boot must be in the first partition, then it must be root(hd0,0), always subtract 1. Let us know how it goes.
