[SOLVED] Grub2 Error 15

First, this system has always had a problem with grub2.  I am moving from Chakra to Arch due to ideals.  Chakra used grub2 perfectly fine, but I originally had to play with it to get it to work.  Dumb me forgot to write down the grub.cfg file before formating, so now I am here to ask for help.  What I would like to do is fdisk /mbr on the three drives installed on the system to ensure none have any grub-legacy installed on them(which I think is the problem).  How would I accomplish this?  Second, I would like to make sure grub2 is installed to /dev/sda(hd0,0).

Re: [SOLVED] Grub2 Error 15

OK, I fixed it by doing the following:

rewrote the MBR as follows  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd[a-c] bs=446 count=1  ***[a-c] means I did sda first then sdb then sdc
changed the MBR to /dev/sdc  **for some reason grub2 would not work if I used /dev/sda
