I do not have any rescue/installation disk. Can it be done with
Knoppix? If so, how? I have tried

# grub-install /dev/sda
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.

Well, let's hope that means grub left the drive alone.

How did you install?

And, if you've booted the box under knoppix, can you mount the partitions with knoppix?
