some additional info: My arch install is located at /dev/hda3. My main ubuntu install is on /dev/hda3 (fyi)

right now my grub's menu.lst looks like this. What needs to be done?
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry to 'saved' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 3## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
hiddenmenu# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret#

## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=e5c2526c-3751-430f-bd51-74e906ac80ca ro## Setup crashdump menu entries
## e.g. crashdump=1
# crashdump=0## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,0)## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false## ## End Default Options ##
