installing arch linux on second hard drive

slugman · 2020-04-15 02:44:28

i have no usb sticks large enough to boot from and im trying to install arch linux on my second hard drive but i can only seem to make a live image and ive tried following the instructions to add persistence but i cant get it to work. (im using ubuntu on my first hard disk) ive tried using parted because gparted sees the imaged iso as a large block but cant get it to work. ive tried gnome-disks because it lets me see each partition but when i edit sdb i end up altering sdb1 and 2 and preventing me from booting into the drive. is there anyway around this or can i just install full arch on the second harddrive through ubuntu on the first hard drive without booting into the disk or at least arch live with persistence?
