Change root will define a new root (/) path. After booting from a rescue
CD you need to mount the root partition on the harddrive then chroot to
it. E.g.

mkdir /mnt/newroot
mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/newroot
chroot /mnt/newroot

You can now root grub-install to install in the master boot record (MBR).

grub-install /dev/hda

Look at the man page

man grub-install

where there are other options like

--root-directory=DIR
