[arch-general] Can I attach Windows partition space with home without reinstalling?

[Dmitry Yu. Nurislamov]

I mean the order of the partitions. In case you're not sure,
you can run `fdisk -l /dev/sdX` as root (replace "X" with your drive 
letter).

The first scenario (Arch before Windows) will look like this:
     /dev/sdX1 50G  # arch
     /dev/sdX2 400G # windows

The second:
     /dev/sdX1 400G # windows
     /dev/sdX2 50G  # arch

Hope you understand now. :)
