I installed Arch Linux yesterday following the wiki instructions, and I'm planning to set up a dual boot with Windows on one drive and Arch on another. However, when I reboot, I find myself stuck at the GRUB command line. Can anyone help me figure out what went wrong?

Did you remember to run grub-mkconfig after installing Arch? That's a crucial step, and if you skipped it, it might be why you're getting sent to the GRUB command line.
It sounds like you want a smooth dual-boot setup with Windows on one drive and Arch on another. A straightforward approach is to first disconnect the Windows drive during the Arch installation. After that, you can reconnect the Windows drive. This way, each drive stays independent and you can select them through your BIOS Boot Menu without worrying about messing up the bootloader. It's worked for me hassle-free on my test setups! Good luck with your installation!
Generally, it's much easier to install Windows first, as the bootloader tends to recognize Windows automatically. But since you've already got Windows set up, just focus on making sure your GRUB configuration is correct!
