I usually boot a rescue disk and do the following commands.
chroot /mnt/sysimage/root_parition (Fedora mounts the drive under
sysimage, and you need to mount the root partition)
( After the chroot, you may also need to mount the /boot partition)
mount /proc
mount /sys
grub-install /dev/drive ( where drive is the boot disk)
umount /proc /sys
exit
reboot
