You'll need to install grub, then, from some sort of linux livecd. Make sure your boot partition is mounted on /boot. Your boot partition should also contain a symlink named 'boot' that just links to the current directory, like

Code:

cd /boot ; ln -s . boot
grub-install /dev/sda

Not necessarily sda! Use the right device for your file.

Then you'll have to customize your menu.lst so it finds your partitions.

NAME

       grub-install - install GRUB on your drive

SYNOPSIS

       grub-install [OPTION] install_device

DESCRIPTION

       Install GRUB on your drive.

       -h, --help
	      print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      print the version information and exit

       --root-directory=DIR
	      install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory

       --grub-shell=FILE
	      use FILE as the grub shell

       --no-floppy
	      do not probe any floppy drive

       --force-lba

       boot sector.
