1) Boot off of your boot/rescue CD of choice into linux.
2) Mount all of your paritions in some useful place (/mnt, /mnt/boot, etc.)
        a lot of boot disks will do this for you automatically
3) chroot to that useful place (`chroot /mnt`)
4) run `grub-install /dev/sda`  where /dev/sda is the disk you want to boot
        off of (and may change depending on your setup)
