First install, stuck at grub>

Hello.

I'm installing Arch with CD on a laptop. It has only 1 hard disk, no partition.

After booting from CD I get to the grub> prompt.

What should I do? Everything I tried failed. setup, root, install on (hd0,0) all give errors.

root (hd0,0) gave unknown filesystem 0x7 error, while the rest give Can't mount partition error.

Thanks.
