vmware makes in-partition arch boot to grub rescue

Hi!

I'm trying to start an Arch linux from Windows 10 with vmware that is installed on my HDD and working fine. There is a Debian 9 that is working this way flawlessly. I'm using Debian's grub when starting up my pc. The grub says: error: unknown filesystem. I think the problem is, that it cannot find the partition to boot or something like that.

Question: How can i start my Arch linux that is installed on the HDD and boots to grub rescue? Or is it possible to start it without changing something that will affect the normal booting, and makes it unbootable in the normal booting of the pc?

Thank you!

Re: vmware makes in-partition arch boot to grub rescue

I have to say that this is a very badly organized question. For starters:
from your post it is unclear where Debian, Win and Arch are installed directly on the hard drive or into the VM and if they differ which is where?
when do you get the error, when booting the installation media or after finalizing the installation process?
how did you install arch?
how did you install grub if you expect it to work?
how did you format your disks and into what format specifically?
In order to receive helpful feedback you need to get familiarized with the code of conduct, then post errCode, errScreenshots, etc. I haven't met any mindreaders here yet..
Cheers!
