Grub crashed I get a command prompt

[lightbulb41]

Grub doesn't work it seems to give me a command prompt other than a dual boot for fedroa 4 and win Xp I had it working but then I had to reinstall because I forgot the passwork and didn't know the command for resetting the root password. Could you help currently my system is down and I can't use it. I have know clue Phantom784 and i worked on this but it didn't work. We couldn't figure it out

It is like a dos prompt

grub/


I tried linux rescue with somthing like this (not exact)
chroot
install-grub /dev/hda

It didn't work

If anybody can help I would appreciate it... My main expertise is Windows so I don't know what to do... If anybody needs help with Windows I am here.

My solution for this problem is init rescue mode, enable the network card, and download rpmfind.net the grub FC3, and intall it, and run agaim grub-install /dev/hda. I do this.
