I want to run Arch Linux alongside Windows 11. I make three new partitions: boot (1G), swap (8G), and root (202G). I ran the archinstall script but got stuck at the disk selection part and couldn't find any videos on YouTube about the latest archinstall.
I selected the disk, and there are 8 partitions, three of which are the ones I created for Arch: nvme0n1p6, p7, and p8. So, how do I mount them without formatting my Windows partitions?

You didn't mention, so I'll have to ask before assuming - but Win11 is installed and boots perfectly? And the EFI partition Win11 boots from is this 1GB boot partition you will also be using with Arch?

No the 1gb efi is for arch
windows boots perfectly
and I haven't yet installed arch
I can't find any installation video for the new archinstall script

ok, I'm no expert and I don't know if you can have 2 separate EFI partitions... but most people who dual boot Win and Linux use 1 EFI partition to serve both - and it isn't hard to setup at all
I did it without the script, but following a very well done YT vid

I had zero issues at the end, and Arch booted right up. I had a bunch of 'cleanup' issues afterwards, but it's been smooth sailing

If you watch and follow along with that video, I doubt you'll have any problems... but if you do, I can help. But I'm also going to bed and won't be back for a few hours 😉
