Re: Newbee grub boot issues

Hey, i'm not sure i understand your question.

• Is your computer using a good old bios or those (relatively) new UEFI systems ?

• Have a go at reading that page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EF … _partition

• You have one disk in gpt, another one using mbr, have a go at reading that too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … PT_and_MBR

  Note: For GRUB to boot from a GPT-partitioned disk on a BIOS-based system, a BIOS boot partition is required.

Carefully explaining your problem is half the solution.

Re: Newbee grub boot issues

First of all: What happens when you type into that Grub-shell "continue"?
Secondly: If this doesn't help do you have Arch as an boot option in your BIOS (or UEFI)?
If no then follow the Wiki Guide either for BIOS or UEFI. (I'm pretty sure you got UEFI but check that first)
