I installed Arch Linux after I tried to install Grub I got an error that failed installing grub /dev/tty or something like that . That didn't bother me since I have Ubuntu installed and I can use its grub.. I added Arch Linux entry in Ubuntu grub but it didn't boot .. Here is my Arch Linux Entry .. I have installed it in /dev/sda7
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda7 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

fdisk -l
and your whole menu.lst, u will probably get more help. Also, what was the error u got, grub error codes are very specific and it may very well lead someone to give u the right answer.

/dev/sda7 is a w95 FAT32 file system, I'd say that is why arch won't boot, because u never installed it. U never formatted the partition.
The only linux partitions are sda3 sda4 partitions and I presume they are for ubuntu?
If I was you, with that messed up partitioning scheme, I would look to clean it up and start over.
