Hi guys i just installed Grub 2 and bamm im greeted with >grub when i try to boot. I thought my settings would be carried over but apparently i was wrong. So now i cant get into arch or windows 7. Im currently running a kubuntu 8.10 livecd i ghad lying around.
What are my options?

The grub.cfg is slightly different from menu.lst
This might help to iron out some bumps:

To do this you will probably need another live-CD though

Ok after reading quater of that, grub 2 is definitely not worth it. I want to go back to grub if thats even possible.
EDIT: im using the guide from http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide to get it runnign first, but everytime i try to "sudo chroot /mnt" i keep getting "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error". Is it because my box is 64-bit?

Also you should (I guess you didn't) read wiki.
After reading it, it made me decide not to use Grub2 until it becomes part of Arch (and even then I'll use it only if I'll have no choice).
Oh yeah hoe to solve this:
Boot ArchLiveCD and chroot to your install and repair damage using wiki on links and pacman.
use this to help you chroot your system: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … llation_CD

Whatever I do, I always end up with something horribly mis-configured.

I'm using grub2 here just fine. Actually I'm using grub2-graphical by Frozenfox.
i just did pacman -S grub2
That wouldn't do it! You need to:
# grub-install /dev/sda

OK i blew away my / and /home after backing up everything but now after installing Arch again GRUB is giving me an error. Here is my menu.lst and fdisk info.
