So I have Windows Dual-booted on my machine. I have a FAT partition made to share fies between linux and windows. Like, music and such. I was able to mount this in ubuntu but cannot do it after installing gnome on arch. Anyone know how to do it?

Why not keep it simpler, just mount your Windows partition (which can be achieved by installing ntfs-3g) when running Arch. Nautilus (don't think the file manager matters much here) should be able to mount it through HAL. Check out the wiki for more details.
box1: Arch (linux-3.17-rc5)
box2: Gentoo (linux-3.17-rc5)
wm: subtle

Assume your fat-partition is /dev/sda5 (just as an example)
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /some/mount/point
Otherwise - as 's3kt0r' says - you can easily mount a ntfs-partition for read/write as well (using ntfs-3g)

Awesome, thank you. Marked as solved.
Should I put this command in my fstab, or just make a startup command for this?

You could do either ....
If it will _always_ be there and you always want it mounted - put it in /etc/fstab, -or- you could put it in /etc/rc.local (without using 'sudo' of course).
I'm a great believer in using rc.local because you _know_ that everything which might be needed (modules eg.) will be available by then.
If you use /etc/fstab, your entry would be:
/dev/sda5 /mount/point vfat defaults 0 0
