I had the same problem a while back. I don't remember where I found this 
but here is what worked for me. This is taken directly from my notes. 
Hope it works for you. Bob Jones

*We succeeded in bringing the Grub back*

/*Here's the steps;*/

    *

      boot by using Linux live CD, go to terminal and run -->> *sudo grub*

    *

      you're in grub menu now, then type -->> *find /boot/grub/stage1*

    *

      It will /display your grub position/, example (hd0,4) or (hd0,5)

    *

      Then type -->> *root (hd*,*)* -- ( replace the * with your grub
      position – (hd0,4))

    *

      Then type -->> *setup (hd0)*

    *

      The above statement will replace your windows MBR configuration

    *

      Then close the grub menu by typing -->> *quit*

    *

      Reboot your machine -->> *sudo reboot*

    *

      Above steps are only for Ubuntu clans, for others : *without sudo*
