because doing "pacman -S syslinux" just installs the package, thus you still need to let the package install all the necessary bootfiles.
]]>What is /dev/sda7 Mark?
It's my /home directory.
Of course my hd is set as primary.
thanks

When you used the LiveCD, I presume you pressed Tab over "Boot existing OS" and edited the details. What did you use? "hd0 1"? Syslinux counts BIOS drives from zero and partitions from one.
Make sure that the drive with Arch on it is the first to boot from the BIOS settings. Unless the laptop uses UEFI.
]]>I tried install other bootloader , but none works. I don't know what is wrong. It's seems like bootloader is not working, of course a have selected partition as bootable.
Plesase help.
Thanks
