It's not a "problem with grub". It's a problem with Windows.
no. I quoted windows to go fast, but there are many ways of erasing grub on linux (I did this twice on two hours :-()
Use the installation CD and select "boot installed system", then log in as root and
grub < /etc/grub.conf
so the info is in /etc/grub.conf. nice.
should do.
I will try next time (for today I give up - all is restored :-)
Well it also depends on where you choose to put grub. It can also be installed into the activated partition, or on a floppy, etc... It's not that simple.
