error loading operating system
sounds like a bootloader error to me.... where does it stop when booting?
do you get the "Booting Arch........................................" screen?
IIRC the default bootloader configs are not 100% compatible with the autoprepare.... at least mine wasn't when i installed grub to the MBR...
]]>if you did the partitioning and mount section right and still had troubles then i would say your installation disc is bad so first check the md5sum of the downloaded iso, if that checks out then reburn another cd(rw) and try again.
usually the only reasons one cannot complete an arch install is that the do not select done in the pasrtitioning section, they have not checked the md5sum, or they are installing on damaged or inappropriate hardware.
]]>you may need to mount them first .....
Knoppix would be easier .... if thats any help
Have you used Linux before daft question but I have to ask .... :-)
]]>Install should be no problem is anything getting loaded to your partitions ?
ie /boot etc....
:?
]]>Give install another go ... just make sure you set mount points .... install packages & kernel check config files .... (to see if they are correct) fstab ;-) lilo/grub etc
make sure lilo/grub is set up then reboot ....
please let us know how you get on....
HTH
Use Knoppix or Arch CD to check system is installed your mount points dirs/ O & look in /boot make sure there are files in there ......vmlinuz etc...

This is weird because I selected every package.

Can you boot with a rescue disk (even the Arch install CD works) and try mounting the root partition to see if there is any data on it? This will tell us if its the boot loader or the filesystem....
Are you installing the boot loader to mbr?
