Trouble Booting After Installing Arch Linux
Asked by
TechyTaco42
I installed Arch Linux yesterday using the wiki and am trying to set up a dual boot with Windows on one drive and Arch on another. However, after rebooting, I'm sent back to the GRUB command line. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
Answers
If you're aiming for a dual-boot setup with Windows on one drive and Arch on another, I recommend first disconnecting the Windows drive when installing Arch. This way, each system will manage its own boot configurations without interference. Once you install Arch, reconnect the Windows drive, and you can select which OS to boot via the BIOS menu. I've been using this method for years, and it keeps everything smooth without the risk of boot issues between the two systems. Good luck!

LaptopDoc23: Thanks for the advice! Just to clarify, does this mean I have to physically disconnect the Windows drive? I’m using a laptop, and it's a pain to open it up just for this.
