sounds like you need to reinstall your first-stage bootloader...
boot from your first install disk, type 'linux rescue' at the prompt.
after answering a few questions about languages, allow the rescue system
to mount your existing filesystems.
once it has all finished, try the following:

chroot /mnt/sysimage
/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda

nb/disclaimer. This assumes that your system uses IDE disks and that your
main boot disk is your primary master (this is normal for most home PCs)

then try a reboot.
