Grub only Shows UEFI Setting in boot menu

Hello all,

I'm not really Newbie to arch having ran it on multiple systems for few years daily.

My issues started after trying to reinstall windows on my dual boot system since a piece of software wasn't working and uninstalling it fully was a complete hassle (more so than reinstalling the OS LOL). Then windows installer breaks (wonderful piece of software that is) and then I have to fully start from scratch. I start that process and while I wasn't paying attention I delete my Arch root partition.

I have since tried to reinstall arch from scratch and I just have not been able to get Arch to appear in grub. I feel like I have tried everything formatting the partitions over and over and restarting, staring at the fstab file and making sure its correct, and reinstalling grub in multiple ways.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Boot the iso, mount the partitions like you think they are correctm chroot in and post

lsblk -f
fdisk -l
mount
efibootmgr -uv

Sorry for the very prolonged response. I really appreciate the reply

Alright here is the lsblk - f:

The fdisk -l output:

The mount output:

The efibootmgr -uv output:

(I tried my best to follow the image etiquette however the fidsk one especially wouldn't downsize properly.)

Re: Grub only Shows UEFI Setting in boot menu

image etiquette is to not post images of text. V1del even gave you a link on how to do it properly.

Re: Grub only Shows UEFI Setting in boot menu

And when posting large (>250x250) images, you're supposed to link, not embed them…

not been able to get Arch to appear in grub

For clarification, grub itself starts?
Use your newly acquired text-posting skills and post the grub.cfg (of the installed system, not the iso)  and the output of "lsblk -f" when *not* chrooted.
