How do I install GRUB using Knoppix ?

Assuming you still have a grub file in your linux partition, which
should be the case, boot with knoppix, then open a terminal. Then
become root using sudo or su command (not sure if that is even needed
using Knoppix, you will have to adapt these instructions a bit):
# sudo -i
(or may do a 'su grub' command, the point is to invoke grub as admin/
root, perhaps knoppix has an admin or root or superuser terminal
console you can open)

Ok so you have root/admin/superuser privelages, this is the essence of
what to do to restore your linux grub bootloader info:
# grub
This will invoke grub and you will see a '>' prompt
> find /boot/grub/stage1
You will see something returned to you like (hd1,0) and write that
down! Let's say it returns to you the value (hd1,0). If you get
(hd1,1)
or whatever use that instead of (hd1,0). Note that there *is* a space
between root or setup and the ( symbol and no spaces within the
parentheses. root () tells grub where kernel resides. setup () tells
grup where to install grub.

# shutdown -r now
(or just choose shutdown from menu)
Remove CD.
Reboot.
