You select a root filesystem with your partition scheme.  You post gives no details for people to help you.

How did you install Arch?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

What on earth does this mean?  On what do you "click" install?

... but problem is on my SSD i have only 237GB

And 237G is enormous.  There is no way that should be a problem.  You could install every single package in the repos (even those that conflict and couldn't be installed together) and only use a little over half that space.

But to answer your direct question: you don't change the installation directory.  But I'm quite sure this is not your actual problem.

It is possible (though I'm still skeptical due to the context of the question) that you have a single partition for everything (root and home) and this might be filling up.  But in that case you should move large data in your home partition over to the HDD.

Why? I haven't cleaned my package cache since 2013, and it only takes up 123G.
