Installing arch on existing grub

Hi,
I've been using ubuntu for a year with dual-boot with windows. I have my grub set up as I want and I really don't want to change it. Is there a way to add arch to the grub without re-installing it?

Re: Installing arch on existing grub

Just add arch entry to your ubuntu grub (correct UUID check in a terminal by #blkid):

menuentry "Arch" {
 UUID=fd46f235-0789-152a-b79c-8edh5ff65927
 search --fs-uuid $UUID --set root
 linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=$UUID ro
 initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
}
