Sorry for re-posting, but I am continuing to have issues with my grub installation. I did a fresh install of Arch, but I am getting the following error when I try to boot Arch:
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 vga=773 ro
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
/dev/sdb1 is my /boot partition, and it is ext2
here is my menu.lst:
# Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/menu.lst
<cut default comments for brevity>
#-*
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 vga=773 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
# (2) Windows

I've looked through the wiki listings, and have tried searching around to see what I can find. I tried reordering the partition table, but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? Thank you for your time!

if /dev/sdb1 is /boot than
root=/dev/sdb1
on your kernel command line is wrong.

if it's wrong, then what should it be?

Hello,
the problem (I just guessing) is that you are booting directly from BIOS in to second hard drive, so second hard drive becomes (hd0) and (hd1) is primary hard drive, they are swapped. (see that 0x7 is partition type NTFS where you have installed Win)

Thank you for your help! It was the issue that djgera had brought up. I put in the appropriate map lines and everything works beautifully now. Now to get everything back how I want it.
