I don't think I have the knowledge to solve your problem, but what is the problem you are having? So far you have just described your partition scheme and that you are stuck somewhere. Which wiki page are you referring to? On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 10:17 PM, mick <bareman@tpg.com.au> wrote:
I've been trying to install archlinux on my Lenovo B50-70 laptop and got stuck installing grub boot loader inconjunction with UEFI.
Either I'm miss understanding the wiki pages on the subject and/or the wiki pages could do with a bit more clarity.
I'm dual booting arch and windows 8.1, previously I had ubuntu 14.04 but when I upgraded to 15.04 it got too messed up so I decided to bite the bullet and go with arch.
The disk is currently split into 11 partitions part size code name 1 1 gb 2700 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 2 260mb EF00 EFI system partition 3 1 gb ED01 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 4 128mb 0C01 Microsoft reserved 5 71gb 0700 Basic data partion windows system 6 25gb 0700 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 7 14gb 2700 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 8 153gb 0700 shared NTFS data partition 9 78gb 8304 Linux / 'root' partition 10 9 gb 8200 swap 11 108gb 8302 /home
when installing I have only used partitions 9, 10 & 11. partitions 1 - 8 were on the disc from the windows pre-install and shrunk to make way for linux.
A recent operation is affecting my concentration and comprehension so be kind please.
