Arch - Boot loader installation failed

I was trying to install Arch from my USB drive...I had booted off the Live USB (non persistent) and gone thru the arch setup as "root".

I followed all the steps ...When I come to the penultimate step - "Install Boot Loader",

I am taken to a screen wherein I have to choose between GRUB or nothing

I chose GRUB and it asks me to install in MBR or other partition

Initially I gave root partition (/dev/sda7) ...I got the foll errors

1.Bootloader installation failed
2.Error mounting /dev/sda7
3.Check /dev/tty7 for details..I am not able to access tty7 and I get error device does not exist

I also tried installing in MBR but does not go thru

Any pointers?
