sudo and su mean nothing inside the grub shell...

You have to follow handz instructions exactly if you want them to work.

Better yet let's try a different approach, boot into your linux installation, not a live cd, and open a terminal then become root with

Code:
sudo su -
Now find out what your root partition is identified as

Code:
mount
this should give you some output like

Code:
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
Now install grub into the part with

Code:
/usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda6
make sure to replace /dev/sda6 with whatever you got for your / partition.
