reinstalling grub on the mbr
lets say a person is dual booting linux and windows. Then they reinstall windows, which writes over the MBR. Could they fix grub by rerunning grub from a live version of linux like knoppix, without chrooting there / partition. Since knoppix already has grub installed couldn't they just specifiy their installed boot partition.
#grub
grub> root (your boot partition)
grub> setup (hd0,0)
grub> exit
Is it at all nessesary to run grub from their chrooted partiton, it does not seem to be?
