Need some GRUB help.

Today I did some partitioning to extend my home drive by shrinking my windows drive. This worked, however, now grub does not. When I try to boot, it just displays the word "GRUB".
Here is my menu.lst file (took out some comments):

timeout   5
default   0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue



# (0) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/7a5d16f4-477d-4eba-9992-77855f4a6c57 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/7a5d16f4-477d-4eba-9992-77855f4a6c57 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img

# (2) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

And here is how gparted looks (I can't seem to get fdisk working in this live distro).

I really need help because I really need to use a windows only app tomorrow.

Maybe you need to update-grub not sure if that'll help.

Try rewriting the MBR in a live cd with this:

Re: Need some GRUB help.

Hello cryticfarm!

/media/disk is your boot partition ? Would it be better a /boot like ?
