So GRUB was already installed. What OS did install it?

What was the configuration of your hard disk (partitions and installed OS) before you install SliTaz?

Did you keep the same configuration or did you change something?

My understanding of your problem:

You installed SliTaz on your laptop where it already existed an OS and GRUB(4DOS?).

You didn't ask to format the partition (GRUB is still on the MBR).

But the SliTaz installer has deleted all the files on the partition excepted the existing /home. So /boot/grub has been deleted too and GRUB doesn't find the files it needs.

[*]Boot from your Live and open a terminal as root; type:

[c]fdisk -l[/c]

[*]Check how your HD is identified (say sda1) and mount it:

[c]mount /dev/sda1 /mnt[/c]

[*]Install GRUB4DOS:

[c]grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda[/c]

[*]Create the configuration file for GRUB4DOS:

[c]leafpad /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst[/c]

according to your configuration.
