The first thing to try is booting the Centos install
CD with 'linux rescue' at the boot prompt. If it
detects the existing installation it will mount it and
suggest that you 'chroot /mnt/sysinstall' after which
you will be able to see your old /etc/grub.conf and
have all the usual tools to reinstall grub.
