dual boot with WinXp and Arch-Solved

Hi friends,
I was using windows boot loader to boot into arch instead of grub. I used this:

dd if=/dev/hda7 of=arch.lnx bs=512 count=1

to get the first 512 bytes of the partition in which I installed arch and then added a line directing towards arch.lnx (moved to windows partition) in boot.ini. But now after reinstalling arch, when i do the same to get first 512 bytes of the partition, it generates a blank file and hence using that I'm not able to boot into arch. Grub is installed in this partition only. Any hints about this issue.

EDIT: I dont know what was the problem exactly, but after I reinstalled grub by "grub-install /dev/hda7" and then did the above command, it worked fine.
