Jim, have you tried booting with a floppy and doing an fdisk /mbr to begin with?
It won't do any harm but, on the other hand, MBR is by default rewritten during Grub installation so this action is not necessary.
I would use a dos boot disk with fdisk on it to start with. Of course, freedos will do the same thing.
I think the installation CD contains all software that he needs. -- A.M.
