I know there are a lot of posts on partition schemes, and the beginners guide is quite good though I can't seem to find the answer to my particular problem in there. I have a few partitions on my HD holding XP, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio and I set a partition aside for arch in the Logical Partition that holds the all my linux OSes. When I go to configure my partition scheme in the arch installer I use cfdisk to configure /dev/sda8 (the one I set aside for Arch) and write 4 partitions -
sda8p1 Linux 20 GB #/root
sda8p2 Linux 15 GB #/var
sda8p3 Linux Swap 1024 MB #swap
sda8p4 Linux ~100 GB #/home
- to sda8 and then move on to set the file system mounts and it only shows me my other OSes partitions - sda1, sda2, etc - with no filesystem labels. Do I
just have my HD set up wrong or am I missing a step? I'm going to walk away from this for a few hours because I think I might just be confusing myself, but I'd appreciate a second set of eyes or something.

sda8 is only one partition, you should have four separate partitions like sda8, sda9, sda10, sda11.

D'oh! I...don't know how I...I have no words. I think I know what I have to do now, thanks. I think I was trying to create, like, sub partitions or something. Long day, heh.
