Use your installation cd to boot, mount your root partition, and edit the file.

how do i make it?

Use any working computer with a cd or dvd writer , download the latest iso from http://www.archlinux.org/download/ , and burn it to a cd .

Any decent cd burning program (regardless of OS) can burn isos.

i mean the commands
would it be
mkdir /mnt/arch
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/arch
chroot /bin/bash /mnt/arch
nano /etc/fstab
??????????????????????

mkdir /mnt/arch
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/arch
nano /mnt/arch/etc/fstab

No need to chroot. Otherwise, you had it right.

Ok, i misunderstood.

If sda2 is you root partition then this should work :

mkdir /mnt/arch
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/arch
nano /mnt/arch/etc/fstab

Iirc the chroot is not necessary.
