Reinstalled Windows, GRUB is gone.
So, I've reinstalled Windows, and obviously GRUB(Legacy) is gone.
How could I restore it? Would it work using an Arch live USB? By skipping all steps until I get to the GRUB installation.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: Reinstalled Windows, GRUB is gone.
This will also work (from a LiveCD):
cd /mnt
mount /dev/sdaX .
for i in /proc /sys /dev; do mount -B $i .$i; done
chroot .
grub-install /dev/sda #Don't use sdaX. You want to install to the MBR.You should also set the boot flag on whatever partition GRUB is installed. Use either gparted or cfdisk, depending on whichever the LiveCD comes with.
And don't forget to mark it as solved.
