If I type grub-install it says no such file or directory.

I tried less /boot/grub/grub.conf same thing.

I did boot with the centos cd as if I was installing and used manual 
partion to see if the partions where still there and they are.

No sure what to do now.  I will try and search for  grub-install.  I am 
assuming that I am searching the cd?
