this does not sound correct in that you may be looking in wrong place.

what brand is system?

what make and model is mainboard?

what is bios name and bios number?

when system starts a bootup, you see screen of bios name and number.
press <scroll lock> or <pause/break> to stop scroll to read.

all you need with rescue dvd is at menu, mount partitions, command line;

 chroot /mnt/image

 grub-install /dev/sda

 reboot

*note*  if you do not have your default '/boot' and '/etc' partitions
physically first, you will have to manually mount partitions.
