Restoring GRUB in the MBR

Start up the system using the installation DVD (procedure tested with SuSE 10.0) in the rescue mode.

Login as root user.

Use 

fdisk -l

to get the disk partitions and labels.

Then mount the "/boot" (or the "/" partition when there is no separate "/boot" partiton) on "/mnt". Finally use the "grub-install" command.

Assuming that /dev/sda is the device on which you want to update the MBR and that the partition /dev/sda5 contains the "/" partition: 

mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
