[solved]install arch in win10, i cannot mount my partition for /

i wanted to install arch after installing win10. i parted the free space into two partition for / and /home. then i followed the beginner guide, and some bad news occured when i mounted /dev/sdb3(for /) on /mnt,

mount:/dev/sdb3 is write-protected , mounting read-only
mount:/dev/sdb3 is already mounted or /mnt busy

when i executed pacstrap /mnt base, there was error like the following

ERROR:/mnt is not a mountpoint!

i have try to repart the disk, reboot, but didnot work, i would appreciate it if anyone could help to solve this problem

Re: [solved]install arch in win10, i cannot mount my partition for /

How about

 mount -o remount,rw 

?
But I don't think it's a good idea after all... Hmmm...
What

mount -l | grep "sdb3"

says?

What filesystem are you using on /dev/sdb3? Please provide details about your hardware.

those are partition types, we want to to know the filesystem .

what is the output of lsblk --fs ?

let me guess :  intel system and in windows you use "intel rapid storage" ?

That suggests your drive is setup to use software raid.
"fdisk -l /dev/sdb" would be helpful.

If you have internet connection from the live iso, you can use a cli pastebin client , check wiki.

Re: [solved]install arch in win10, i cannot mount my partition for /

I am not sure about i used "intel rapid storage", i just selected custom installation and parted  a 150G partition for windows and left the others free, and i donnot remember there were other choice about “Intel rapid storage” that i could choose. 

I can get some message by "fdisk -l /dev/sdb", like Device and Type, but i donot know how to use these messages.

I am sorry but i donot quite understand you about "If you have internet connection from the live iso, you can use a cli pastebin client , check wiki.", could you please explain a bit more

It might not be related but I know that turning off Windows 8 & 10 does not what it says. It puts the computer in hybrid shutdown, causing sometimes hard drive partition access problems. To really turn off Windows, you have to hold shift and click on "shutdown" in the "Power" menu. Yet I don't think this is the cause since Windows shouldn't be mounting any of your created partitions, but maybe it helps! :·)

To all:
        I think i have solved this problem. I checked my computer's disk info,and find it's 1T hdd+ 32G ssd, so i guess the computer use isw_raid by default. then i remove it and rewrite the disk into ext4, and things go well yet. I will tag solved to this topic and thank you all guys.
