Many years ago it was possible to create a boot (floppy) disk for those times when loading windowz after Linux your boot partition was lost. Is it possible to do this still only create a boot CD disk with your image on so you can re- load grub?
I guess, the real question is, is it possible to reinstall grub with a LiveCD and the answer is yes. Use knoppix or some other LiveCD that has an unmodified "grub-install" (e.g. ubuntu, CentOS) 1. mount the partition that has /boot (e.g. /dev/sda1 is mounted on /mnt) 2. As root do "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" 3. This will re-install GRUB on the MBR of the first disk. Reboot and you should see your familiar grub menu.
