If you have your boot disk, (that you should have created when
initially installing Core2, or just before installing MS Windows),
just boot into Linux with it and then issue command:
# grub-install
If you failed to create a boot disk, (you don't have one at all),
download a slackware boot disk image (bare.i should do), and use
rawrite.exe to burn it to floppy.  See:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.1/bootdisks/README.TXT

The images are located here:
