The installation ends without problems (I installed arch in my slave HD of the Primary IDE channel [sdb]). But after the grub loads this error appears:
Booting 'Arch Linux'
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/381c[other numbers/letters] ro
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Press any key to continue...
I have and old system with an ASRock motherboard, 3 hard drives and a DVD drive (all IDE). I have tried using the archboot and the "official" 2010.05 iso with the same result.
Hope someone could help me. Thank you .

What filesystem type did you used for "root" partition?
I

I've used ext4, but with the grub I can't even boot the windows partition in the master HD.

Is something wrong with root partition type (0x7-ntfs i think)
Be sure if your root partition is ext4.
1.Boot with Arch live cd;
2. type "root" & enter (login as root)
3. type fdisk -l and see result.
My is:

To boot your windows partition, you need a separate /boot/grub/menu.lst entry:
title Windows what you want
rootnoverify (hd0,0) # here it must put your windows partition string (remember hd0,0 is first partition of first hard drive and so on ... )

At boot when grub screen apear press "e" to edit your grub preferences (use keyboard to navigate) and replace
root (hd1,0) with "root (hd2,0)"
After that press enter and "b" to boot

thank you!
The drive in which the grub is installed is "hd0", in spite of the fact that the the drive is the slave.

That might confuse GRUB. If you changed the HD mapping in the BIOS, change it back, install GRUB in the MBR of the first HD, and reconfigure GRUB accordingly.
Check this topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=796973
Ground rule: don't make things more complicated than they already are. It might seem easy to swap the order in the BIOS, but you can install GRUB anywhere and tell it to boot from any partition on your setup. So let GRUB figure it out. The more factors enter the equasion the bigger your chance it breaks.
