You can place the CD-ROM in the drive, and boot to it. When you get to the boot: menu, type:
Linux Rescue

then type the following in:

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda

Change hda to sda if you're using sata.
This will create the Grub boot loader. You really can't boot into linux without it. The grub boot loader should add any other OS's you have.
