Grub files missing (resolved)

I had a dual boot Windows xp and arch and just added Windows 7 to the mix. I assumed I'd need to reinstall the grub to the mbr. The problem I'm having is that the /boot doesn't contain any grub files. A "find / -name menu.lst" didn't produce anything. I'm puzzled. Any way to reinstall grub from scratch?
Thx

Which grub package / version do you have installed according to pacman?


Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.
