But still nothing mounts or shows in Thunar.
Thanks for your help guys! Couldn't have done it without you!

# mount /dev/sdc4 /mnt
and see this
Another chance is to install from the other linux box.
During installation just skip any steps that write the MBR to the disk to leave the current one intact. As long as you don't touch that or the other partitions, everything else should be fine.
I may have missed something so wait for a few more replies.
]]>* Partition the disks
* Format the partitions
In the "Mount the partitions" step just mount /dev/sdc4 to /mnt
mount /dev/sdc4 /mnt
install no bootlaoder, configure the existing grub so it can boot the arch installation on sdc4.
... and making a backup of important data is always a good idea.
]]>/dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc2
/dev/sdc3
/dev/sdc4
I want to install on /dev/sdc4 which is already formatted to ext4. This will be a legacy install, not EUFI. Windows is not installed on any of the partitions.
I do not need to install a bootloader as grub is already installed on another Linux OS on /dev/sdc1. I will update grub on that partition when the Arch install is finished.
I also do not need a swap partition as I have 32gb of physical ram.
I do not need to format the partition as it is already formatted using gparted using ext4.
During the partitioning phase of the install, what is the best way to approach the install?
I want to make sure I don't mess up my disk, yet I also do not want to skip any necessary steps.
Thanks for your help!
p.s.
I have done lots of research but haven't found a guide that deals with my specific needs.
Thanks again!
