OK, did a bit more research, based on what you have said, and booted live  
Knoppix.

ran the following commands in a terminal, with results as shown (not  
captured, from notes)...

sudo grub

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
        error 15 file not found

grub> root (hd0,1)
        filesysystem type unknown, partition type 0x5

grub> setup (hd0)
        error 17 cannot mount selected partition

A look in /boot shows that grub/stage1 exists.

Not sure where to go from here.
