Restoring GRUB?

How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)

I primarily use Ubuntu 12.10, however I recently installed the beta of Fedora 18 to test it out. GRUB was replaced with the "fedora 18 grub" which looks slightly different. How do I restore the version of GRUB that comes with Ubuntu?

You can still run Ubuntu, yes? Try this one: "sudo grub-install –root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda" but w/out quotes and do note change to proper device. The /dev/sda is just an example. — Marky, Dec 04 '12 at 04:46
@Marky can you provide a real answer instead of a comment. It would be better for the OP and the community? — Ringtail, Dec 04 '12 at 05:06

Try update-grub if that doesn't work then install the grub again using the grub-install command . It should detect Ubuntu automatically and include Ubuntu in the boot menu.
