Grub Loader entry overwritten

Hello,

One of my frend had a problem.
He had Windows XP installed on his system. Then he installed Red Hat Linux 8.0 in one of the partitions. After some time his XP got corrupt and then he reinstalled Windows XP. This over wrote the Grub loader entry, and due to this the grub loader is not displayed during the boot sequence althought the Linux installation is still intact.

One solution which i thought is that if he could get a boot disk, and boot through it and then make changes in the grub.conf file, though i have never tried this before. The problem is that here noone has a Red Lunx 8.0 boot disk.

Can anybody give a solution??

Thanks,
Rahul.
