GRUB recovery after installing Windows XP

GRUB recovery after installing Windows XP
If any one use dual boot system then after installing windows again we lost
GRUB loader. It can recover in various method. Here i discuss GRUB recovery
using Live cd. For this we have to boot our system by Live cd.

Follow the step to recover grub bootloader:
1. Boot with Ubuntu Live CD
2. Open gnome-terminal
Give the commands:
3. sudo grub
then it shows grub> like this
grub>find /boot/grub/stage1
it'll give a output like this (hd0,7) 7 is here for example, it will be
number of ur partition.
grub>root (hd0,7)
grub>setup (hd0)
grub>quit

Then reboot your machine. I think your boot loader should recovered.
there is another way.
1. Boot with Fedora CD 1.
2. write
linux rescue
it'll open a shell
write
grub

then write previous grub command
