The easiest way is to boot to a Linux installation that has Grub2, and run its grub-install command, probably as grub-install /dev/sda.

If you're having trouble booting your existing installation, try a rescue/live Linux on CD or USB. Many distributions' install disk are capable of restoring the bootloader. An OS-agnostic rescue disk for Grub2 is SuperGRUB2Disk.

The Ubuntu wiki has some information on reinstalling Grub2 which may be useful even if you're not running Ubuntu. There is now an official Grub2 manual, as well.
