Command to reinstall grub?


Whats the command to install Grub back to the MBR? I know for lilo the user just types "lilo", but I've never had to do this w/ Grub before. Its probably something easy, I just thought I would ask on here while at work so I will just know right away when I get back home. Thanks in advance.

start up grub.

then go setup(hd0)

or whatever drive you want it on. don't forget that grub starts on hd0 instead of hd1.
