Re-installation of GRUB...

hi all.
long story sort
had at the start winxp and i install also to a different partition our favourite arch
after a long time i installed in the position of winxp win7 (runs smoothly although it is an old pc)
which that caused the bootloader not to appear anymore..

from old times doing the same dual boot again and again i new that all i had to do was to put cd/usb of arch in the pc and without formatting the arch partition just mounting them to reinstall bootloader grub
but this time when i went to do that was telling that i had to first configure the system before installing grub and also for doing configuration i had to install.....
how am i supposed to install grub again without having to do a lot of "labour" working again?
ty in advanced
