Rescue Mode?

Hi All,

 

A friend of mine decided he wants to make the move to Linux.

 

I gave him one of the CDs I ordered from Canonical's Ship-It (Ubuntu 6.06). He tried to install it over the weekend.

 

He has WinXP installed and he wants Ubuntu to co-exist (for now...) on a second Hard Drive.

 

While installing he managed to mess up the partition table and now he can't access the Linux box....

 

I don't have all the details, but actually, what I wanted to ask was: How do I boot the LiveCD to Rescue Mode? How do I wipe the MBR (fdisk /mbr?) and re-install the GRUB Boot Loader?

 

Thanks!
