A Command to update grub from cli?
Hey everyone,
This would be my first post in the Arch Forums. I come over from Ubuntu. I can't be certain I'll stay with Arch and not go back, but so far, I love it. If you are curious, I love that I don't have all those programs installed that I don't want installed at startup.
My question, though revolves around Grub. I just now installed grub2, mainly because that is what I am used to - I change but not so drastic - must have something familiar. 
My windows hard drive isn't listed at startup as a choice for me yet. In Ubuntu, I had installed grub-pc. I would then simply type "sudo apt-get install grub-pc --reinstall" and it would do some sort of magic where it would detect all my OS's and make a nice list for me at startup.
Is there something I can do to do this with Arch? And, if I should go back to grub-legacy to make it easier I am open to that.
I know I can do this via editing the menu.1st file, but I was hoping there was one of those quick, sweet commands out there in Arch land that could make it easier.
Thank you,
Randy

Perhaps you are looking for os-prober which is in AUR. Personally I prefer to edit manually.

Ubuntu uses Grub 2 which uses a more automated method to find other Operating Systems.
Arch uses Grub Legacy by default, in order to install Grub 2 you might want to see this page of the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2
