so im trying to have windows and and arch on the same hard drive.
I installed arch a while back and I installed winodws a few hours ago. My friend told me I needed grub to get back into arch, but, I can't install it.
I go into a liveCD, type grub, type root (hd0,0) , type setup (hd0) and it does its thing.
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
Done.
and then I reboot and nothing's changed, YAY for failures....

well, somehow it works now, after like 4 tries, it goes into grub.
I edited /grub/menu.lst to show Windows but I don't know how to get it to start, it just reloads grub when I hit enter on it

You can mount the partition with the live CD and type :
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/mountedDrive /dev/sda
I think I got the command right, correct me if I'm wrong
This should work better then the grub shell commands

Where there is a shell, there is a way
