Cfdisk only seeing windoze 10 hard drive

I'm all ready to install Arch Linux, but when it's time to partition my hard drive, I'm only seeing the windoze hard drive and not the Arch Linux hard drive. I have one hard drive for Arch Linux and another separate hard drive for windoze 10. Any idea of what's going on here?

Not without more info, no.

Seeing where? Post the commands that you're using and the full output that you're seeing. What is the output of

lsblk

? Do you see the devices in /dev/? Have you checked the output of dmesg for errors?

What other info do you need? I cfdisk and it only shows my windows 10 hard drive and not the linux hard drive I want to install arch linux on. As a matter of fact, it doesn't show the other hard drive at all. lsblk shows it, but not cfdisk.

From your sparse description, I can only guess that you didn't tell it what device to use.

Is the missing device a nvme device?

Try this:

# ls /dev/sd*
# cfdisk /dev/sdX
