"arch" doesnt do anything by itself unless you instruct it to

#

Elaborate what you did

Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

i tried installing arch

#

wanted to make pariotions using cfdisk or whatever it is called

#

but it showed my usb instead of ssd

hidden python
#

this couldn't make less sense if you tried

#

cfdisk <disk you wish to partition>

#

if you do cfdisk <usb> it'll do the usb

#

if you do cfdisk <sda> it'll do sda

bold viper
#

ohhhhhh

hidden python
#

if you do cfdisk <sdb> it'll do sdb

#

so run lsblk and decide which device you want

bold viper
#

i just did cfdisk

hidden python
#

and then cfdisk /dev/<disk you want to partition>

bold viper
#

it's an example of a drive you might have

#

it's usually solid state drives excluding m.2 drives, which usually are nvme1/nvme2 etc.
