How do you use archinstall to dual boot arch and windows?
I basically can set any other option other than the layout. The default wipes the disk which I don't want since I am trying to dual boot windows and arch. And the other option seems manual and I do not know what to do and don't want to mess up with my disk. I have a free space that is 100gb that I made before I tried to install arch linux, how do I use that? And if possible, can I create a new efi partition for arch linux? I don't know if I should let it use the same efi partition as windows's. Thanks.
(I am a linux noob btw, don't know anything about arch)
I'll post a video in a bit showing how. Just be careful of #1197 (make sure to double check that "encrypt" is not set on any partition except the one you want to use)

Thanks, do you mean a youtube video?

That or a gif, or a writeup. But usually a video that can be paused is useful.

Ok thanks.

Any ETA for the video?

It's coming, but I'm sick and I got stuck trying to improve disk encryption :)
Maybe we could put this into a wiki section on the repo, I think github has something there
Im halfway done with a guide, installed windows today. Who knew it takes 1/10 the time to install a full desktop of Arch, online vs windows offline ISO medium xD
I thought it's not even possible to install windows offline at all anymore? How would they get all your data otherwise :D
They "hide" the ISO download since they want you to use the data-hoarding model mainly ^^
Pretty sure just adding os_prober as an additional package does the job. Just make sure you've partitioned your disk properly from windows diskmgmt.
@Torxed Have you thought about making a GRUB version? :)
Creating a dual-boot system isn't really archinstall related but rather bootloader related but since you already made that systemd-bootloader video maybe you want to make a GRUB version as well.
I am having some problems with GRUB not finding the Windows Bootloader on the EFI partition. os-prober installed and grub config edited but it somehow doesn't work.
I think GRUB may be installed to /boot instead of /boot/EFI. I will check again later.
@Torxed Have you thought about making a GRUB version? :)
Hehe, I haven't used GRUB in like ~10 years so I don't think I would do a very good job at it. So I'll probably let someone with more experience do that one ^^
@Torxed Can you write a writeup of the video? This video is nice but it doesn't really help individuals like me who are blind and so can't see what your doing. The key moments helped but not all that much.
@ethindp I could do that :) I ended up using systemd-boot. I could create a written version of the video and publish it on medium. I don't really know what accessibility options the arch iso already has and therefore how detailed it needs to be. I can definitely write out all the necessary commands and things to click. How urgent is it?
now i can call myself an arch user ;) oh crap i remember how cringe the name of this account was damn
