Hi BoNGLOND,
We need a bit more info. which Linux distribution do you have? does GRUB working fine earlier or is it a fresh install?It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

boot up from Installation CD and type 'linux rescue' at boot: prompt.
execute this
* if your harddisk is SATA, replace hda with sda.Code:chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/hda --recheck
in case it doesn't work, boot up in rescue mode again and post the contents of grub.conf file here.
Code:less /boot/grub/grub.conf
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
