how do i reinstall grub from live cd ubuntu 9.10

[dodo_dodder]

hello,
I had windows XP on my c:\drive. installed ubuntu 9.10 on a 27 gig unallocated space. ubuntu ran fine. Then i boot to win xp and used a partitioning software to take back some other unallocated space. after it rebooted to complete the partitioning processes grub wouldn't load. So i need to re install grub from this ubuntu 9.10 live cd.
i tired the following
grub
(didnt work the first time said i needed to install grub so did : root@ubuntu:~# sudo apt-get install grub )
after grub was installed
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

Error 15: File not found



the previous linux partition I can see in the Computer with the boot directory and is called 1000gb hard disk: 27 GB filesystem see screenshot.

HELP!

root@ubuntu:~# sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
root@ubuntu:~# sudo mount --bind/dev /mnt/dev
mount: unrecognized option '--bind/dev'
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
mount --make-shared dir
mount --make-slave dir
mount --make-private dir
mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
mount --make-rshared dir
mount --make-rslave dir
mount --make-rprivate dir
mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .

root@ubuntu:/# grub-install --recheck/dev/sda
Unrecognized option `--recheck/dev/sda'
Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device
Install GRUB on your drive.

-h, --help print this message and exit
-v, --version print the version information and exit
--modules=MODULES pre-load specified modules MODULES
--root-directory=DIR install GRUB images under the directory DIR

--grub-setup=FILE use FILE as grub-setup
--grub-mkimage=FILE use FILE as grub-mkimage
--grub-mkdevicemap=FILE use FILE as grub-mkdevicemap
--grub-probe=FILE use FILE as grub-probe
--no-floppy do not probe any floppy drive
--recheck probe a device map even if it already exists
--force install even if problems are detected
--disk-module=MODULE disk module to use

INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

grub-install copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specified by
--root-directory, and uses grub-setup to install grub into the boot
sector.

while you guys are at it, can you tell me if there is a way to install ubuntu_restricted_package while im on the live disc so that it I don't have to re do it everytime i restart? Currently this crisis calls for many restarts, and i am downloading the packages on every restart for music. and I cant get through this without music.
This is Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala.

Nope. It's a read only CD.

root@ubuntu:~# sudo fdisk -l

the prompt indicates that you have a root shell. both "root@" and "#" indicate the root shell. the root shell does not require the "sudo" command

install grub2 to the mbr:

# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
# grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

[dodo_dodder]

root@ubuntu:/# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type


is what i got.
