Do you have a USB drive? You could temportally make it a live usb to reinstall grub. Or look at grub4dos.

Don't think grub5dos will work, I have SuperGrub & linux won't boot.
Yep, that worked.
Oh can I put unetbootin on a cd-rw?

First drive first partition is (hd0, 1) right? grub gives me a unrecognizeddevice device string error.
No it's not. Read the grub documentation.
A little more helpful comment would be better.
For a nice guide, see the gentoo handbook on grub,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10
While it is slightly distro specific, it's very good at explaining it.
(hd0,0) is actually the first partition.
Documentation is always helpful. Retyping the grub docs herewon't help him: first he has to make an effort to solve his problem on his own, then when he has specific questions which aren't easily answered in the docs he should ask here. This is the common courtesy someone needing help is expected to do: if someone is so lazy not to even try to read documentation and showing he has made an effort himself, why would anyone else help him for free and wasting time with him? If one expects that level of help, hire a professional: then you can be lazy and not doing anything cause you pay people for their work.
