Mageia forum

Have Mageia installed on /dev/sdb, first partition (which is an external USB hardrive) - during installation grub was installed to sdb and the system booted fine.
Used clonezilla to restore a backup image (which is unable to reinstall grub1).
I can boot into Mageia using Super Grub Disk and obviously also use the live CD.

Have tried from the live cd:-

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd1,0)

grub> root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd1)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 20 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+20 p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.

However, at reboot I am still confronted with "error 15" message.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Booted into single user mode, from terminal used grub-install /dev/sdb and bingo, grub was restored1

Just for a hint, you could have changed boot options order in the BIOS..i guess it would have worked.
