Why do you need to reinstal, and what version are you using?

Assuming your using Grub2.
Boot into the live CD.
Open a terminal and mount the partition your installation is on.
for eg if your on sda1

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
then:

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
You should then get a message saying whether successful or not.
Then Reboot, enter a terminal and type:

sudo update-grub
Done.
