This has probably been asked before, but I don't know what to search for. (Yes, I did look first.)
So, essentially, when I run the Arch setup, and use the Auto-Prepare, it gives me this:
Error partitioning /dev/sda (see /dev/tty7 for details.)
So, I was like, okay, I'll just try partitioning manually. I got all the partitions set up with sizes and whatnot, but when I went into the Set Filesystem Mountpoints, is says:
Available disks:
/dev/sda: 78167 Mib
So I hit OK and it asks what partition to use as a swap, but there's only NONE as an option...
Oh, and I deleted the hard drive, so there's not a space issue. Also, it's a HP Pavilion desktop...don't know if that matters or not.
Thanks,

Did cfdisk by any chance complain that the partion table couldn't be read back? Also, did you look at vc/7 to see what the errors were?

Make sure you're logged into the root account and not the arch account when you go to install.
It sounds dumb, but even I've made that mistake before

Wow...I had no idea that you had to be in root.
Yeah, it works now. Thanks a lot.
I feel really stupid right now.
