Yeah, In Windows they have a command-line tool called "fixmbr", we should have something equivalent.

Two issues....
Recovering boot portion of MBR. This is easy -- just reinstall grub or whatever boot loader you are using.
Recovering partition table -- this is harder, but already written. I thought it was part of gparted, but I couldn't find it last I looked. (I wrote a primitive one years ago and it is in the ext2 tools source last I checked.)

Yes but they'll have to:
1) Boot a live CD
2) chroot partition
3) sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub
It'll be useful to add a "small recovery" choose on live desktop cd, like the alternate cd recovery mode, to identify system partition and do those step automatically.

you can fix your mbr by booting the live cd open the terminal and typing in install grub hda0 or i think it is this one grub-install hda
i can't remember which one it is
