And you should generally choose mbr unless you plan to use the bootloader of your other os (mostly windows) or boot linux with a rescue disk. Anyways, now you need to boot into rescue mode (use the first install CD) and then try doing "grub-install /dev/hda" (or whatever you disk is). Now the problem is this will put GRUB on MBR and that means if grub is not configured properly, you might not be able to boot into your other OS. Not a problem though and can be sorted out easily once you can atleast boot into Linux. Another way would be to configure the other bootloader (ntldr on win2x/xp, none configurable on win9x/me). But since here it seems that the boot loader is either corrupt or refusing to boot, you will have to boot with a Emergency disk and do a "fixmbr" (win2k3/xp) or "fdisk /mbr" (win9x/me/2k) first.
