[SOLVED] No operating system found

I'm not sure where to post this, sorry if this isn't the right forum.

I tried a SliTaz livecd and upon rebooting (I did remove the cd) I'm told that no operating system is found on my hard drive.

I booted up an Ubuntu livecd and I'm able to access the drive so I won't lose anything (didn't have anything important on there anyway), but I'd like to avoid reinstalling if possible.

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] No operating system found

So I am a little unclear here.. Had you installed Arch previously on the machine?

Did you by any chance re-install grub from the Slitaz Cd?

Sorry,

Yes, I already have (had?) Arch installed on the drive.  I did not knowingly install ANYTHING from the SliTaz disc so I'm rather confused.

I'm just gonna bite the bullet and reinstall.  I've been meaning to put everything on a bigger drive anyway.  Thanks for responding guys.
