Arch is installed but grubs seems to not be
So i got a new pc today, it came with windows 7.
I partitioned and took half of the hdd for arch and made its partitions there.
All seemed to install well, but at the end, after i closed the last file you edit(that one about the boot), several errors came, i could not see them well because they disappeared quicly 
, but i could see "something could not be installed on /something/something/"
I rebooted and widows started, not the grub.
This is like what i did:
Cut in half 1Tb drive
made /dev/dsa{5,6,4} for root, boot and home
I know its very few information,sorry.
Thanks and greetings.

Boot the installer again and reinstall grub.

Yes, it's better to install Windows first, leaving room for Linux.

Re: Arch is installed but grubs seems to not be
Next time you can try archboot as rescue system, you can install only bootloader with it from setup bootloader.
