Befuddled after update to GRUB2

Hi all (I could really use some help)!

I recently installed GRUB2 using

pacman -Sy grub2

, and it said grub was delted and everything installed fine.  I edited grub.cfg to uncomment the Arch Linux and Windows XP partitions that I currently have on my computer.  The problem is, I shutdown the computer and rebooted to test out if it worked, and it is booting into GRUB 0.97 and the only thing visible says this:

[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ]

grub>_

It seems that I need to somehow get to GRUB2, how do I resolve this?

Re: Befuddled after update to GRUB2

Pacman doesn't overwrite the MBR when you install grub2 (or any boot loader). So you removed the grub 0.97 config file and didn't install grub2 to the MBR. See the grub documentation to boot into your system from the grub command line, then read the arch wiki page about grub2.
