I partitioned 831gb for arch and left 91gb for windows

#

And you are with cfdisk open on the /dev/sda, try to close cfdisk and run lsblk, and then to check the partition table just run cfdisk /dev/<device-name>

#

ripe parcel Or run lsblk

#

My disk had 931gb in it before I partitioned it

#

Then it was 91gb and 831gb unallocated

You must allocate this free space to a Linux partition

bold quail Sep 13, 2022, 9:18 PM

#

So I should select the 839gb one right

ripe parcel Sep 13, 2022, 9:19 PM

#

Yeah

#

Select the free space and make a partition of type Linux

bold quail Sep 13, 2022, 9:23 PM
