Thanks for reporting it.

Could you please tell us which was your harddisk layout before installing and what was your harddisk layout after? This would help us reproduce your issue.

I created the partition layout like your partition layout, except with different sizes. Installed Antergos and setup the partition setup in Cnchi manually as it was already created and we want a special layout that includes that NTFS at start, the sda1.

This is the setup I made before install Antergos

Then on the Cnchi setup, choose this configuration, as boot is my sda5, that has the / in front. Formatted and added the rest, as it demands to put / and swap partitions. Then, reboot and it booted correctly.

This is the setup after the first boot:

So, can you install it again and take a screen shot of the Cnchi manual partition setup?

[zhenyolka]

Ok, you have these error. Boot flag set on /dev/sda5. It error. Some BIOS can boot with it error, some cant boot. I have BIOS, which cant boot with it, you have BIOS, which can. I have old BIOS.

This was done on Oracle Virtual Box, so it was a virtual machine. Real BIOS might behave differently. But if you still want to install it, please take a picture of the step on you manually assign the partitions, during the setup. It's the one like my first picture.

I have such installations on 3 different BIOS systems and all boots fine ( means they have bootflag on antergos /boot partition [not first partition of the disk] and ntfs windows is on first partion of the disk)
