Hello, I am a n00b Archer (yet awesome at Linux itself) and just followed the instructions in the beginners guide to install Arch. (That KISS rule is just something AWESOME!) When I try to boot the menu entry in GRUB that says "Arch GNU/Linux, with Linux core repo kernel", GRUB gives me an error saying: "error: no such device: ad4103fa-d490-47ca-8506-301d8071d467. Loading Linux core repo kernel ... error: no such partition. Loading initial ramdisk ... error: you need to load the kernel first." When I press any key to continue, it brings me back to the menu. I get the same error with the initramfs fallback. Did I screw up somewhere in the install? Do I need to install over again to fix this? Please tell me where I screwed and what I need to do to fix this. If I can rescue the system from the Arch LiveDVD I have, please tell me how to do so. If I do need to reinstall, please tell me where i screwed and provide a concise install guide. If I can fix this from within GRUB, tell me how to do so.
Thank you,

BTW, I am using Virtualbox as I currently only have my Dad's Win8 box.

At the time, at least.

I now tried Syslinux and got a Kernel panic. I got the first few phases of booting though.

You can use the live environment to chroot to rescue the system -- no need to reinstall just because the boot loader is missing or messed up.
