After installing Arch , I get "error : no such device:ad4103fa-d"

I get this :
error: no such device: ad4103fa-d940-47ca-8506-301d8071d467
loading linux core repo kernel
Error:no such partition.
Loading initial ramdisk
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

Edit  :error was fixed

parted /dev/sda
$ mkpart primary ext4 0MiB 1MiB
$ quit

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2

$ parted /dev/sda
$ rm 2
$ quit

I have used GRUB, by going to arch-chroot /mnt and typing pacman -S grub-bios.
I installed it to /dev/sda, while /dev/sda1 contains Arch Linux.
I dont know how to access fstab (am newbie)
Lsblk -f :

Did you do GRUB#Generate_the_main_configuration_file?

I dont know how to access fstab (am newbie)

After mounting the root filesystem of the arch install post etc/fstab of that filesystem.
Please also use code tags for command output see https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

I tried to generate the grub main config. I did not do it yet, so I tried now and I get this error
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Warning : failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.

Re: After installing Arch , I get "error : no such device:ad4103fa-d"

The command outputs appear to have been coped by hand introducing transcription errors.
Please use a Pastebin see the Tip box so you do not have to install any additional packages just have networking configured before chrooting into the system from the boot media.
Then pipe the outputs of these commands to a pastebin please and post the links.

# cat /etc/fstab
# blkid
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg &> /tmp/grub-mkconfig.txt #do not pastebin this one
# cat /tmp/grub-mkconfig.txt
# rm /tmp/grub-mkconfig.txt #do not pastebin this one
# cat /etc/default/grub
# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Please also use code tags for command output see https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Edit:
Split out grub-mkconfig output to a file to simply catch stderr and added file cleanup

GUI is not yet on my computer(its deleted with Arch only now) so I am manually typing it from a phone all the results. Also I managed to do the grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg but i still get the same error while booting Arch Linux.

I did not mention a GUI and the tip box from the wiki page I linked contains:

Pastebin services are often used to quote text or images while collaborating and troubleshooting. Pastebin clients provide a convenient way to post from the command line.
Tip: You can access the ptpb.pw, sprunge.us and ix.io pastebins using curl. For example pipe the output of a command to ptpb:

command | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw

or upload a file (including images):

curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw < file

Note "Pastebin clients provide a convenient way to post from the command line."
So why do you think you would need a GUI?
