[Solved] Dual boot windows/arch (systemd-boot) partition
...with storage limits
Hi, I'm trying to setup a dual boot windows/arch installation, and this time I will give a try to systemd-boot over grub. I realized that mounting windows boot partition (/dev/sdb1) as boot partition in arch is the only manner I found to make systemd-boot dettect both systems.
The problem is that windows boot partition is only 100Mb, and now with linux kernel installed here I have 95Mb filled, this is not sustaneable.
The solutions I thinked about, but that I don't know how to do safely are:
1. Resize windows boot partition:
As everything on disk is past this partition I think this is too much dangerous (tell me if I'm wrong please).
2. Install kernel on different partition and mount it to /boot or something:
I would like to do this but I don't know how to proceed.
Anyone can help me with those or suggest a better althernative? Thanks!.

You are the best! I just get scared of the word XBOOTLDR and didn't read this section, thanks!
Will give a try if this works for me then I will make this thread as solved.
EDIT:
That worked! struggled a bit to find GUID arch wiki mentioned, but then discovered that cfdisk show it under the Type menu.
Also remember to move loader entries and reinstall kernel and intel-ucode if needed.
