2 months ago It would be helpful if you submit the installation log /var/log/archinstall/install.log This might be the related to https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/2191. Does this message actually prevent you from continuing?

Checking version...
I don't think this should cause any interruption for the installation process but is merely information being logged

I decided to use archinstall even with those messages, so I selected my ext4 partition as target, but I ended erasing my whole Windows10 installation.
I tried recovering it for two days without success. Now I should reinstall and activate it from scratch, then redownload all my apps and reinstall them, and some apps' installers and licenses are no longer available.
This is truly sad, such dangerous tool coming from a reputable distro like Archlinux.
Why not add Calamares installer to the ISO and make it easy and safe to install Archlinux like how Manjaro and EndeavourOS do it?

2 months ago If you share the installation log then we can investigate what went wrong. Just by selecting manual partitioning the existing partitions will not be erased.

2 months ago @svartkanin I reinstalled Manjaro on that partition, and tried to fix the grub, Windows entry is shown in grub but selecting it fails to boot it, only Manjaro succeed to boot.
Can I retrieve the previous archinstall log even if it was replaced by Manjaro?

2 months ago In that case you wouldn't be able to retrieve anymore. Do you remember what settings you had in the partitioning menu?

2 months ago I have BIOS/MBR based hard drive, so I don't have any FAT32 EFI partition, what I have is 100MB NTFS for something related to Windows10 boot.
During installation and in manual partitioning, I selected my ext4 partition /dev/sda7 as target both for root / and /boot/.
After watching some videos, I think I did the mistake by not creating a new FAT32 EFI partition, even if my drive is BIOS/MBR based, then mount it to /mnt/boot/ and mount my ext4 partition in /mnt/.
But how can Arch based and Ubuntu based distros be installed on that partition without any EFI partition? I simply select in Calamares boot loader to be installed on root disk /dev/sda.
I download the latest
archlinux-2024.04.01-x86_64.iso, and every time I start archinstall it shows:I have dual boot Manjaro with Windows10 without any secure boot and using BIOS/MBR (DOS), and just want to replace Manjaro installed on one ext4 partition with Archlinux.
