If the problem is one of getting rid of a boot loader (lilo or grub) and
reinstalling a fresh version of grub then I re-post a tip I've passed on
a few times that I found in a grub FAQ:
(quote myself) I will chip in here and add that I had MBR problems
before that wouldn't allow lilo to be replaced by grub, despite
repartitioning and reformatting the drive.  A grub FAQ recommended
reformatting the MBR to clean the slate by booting with a floppy and
executing "fdisk /mbr" at the prompt.  (end quote) 
That will do the trick so that you can then do a fresh install of grub.
