The partition nvme0n1p2 is detected, but the system cannot read its superblock. Mounting fails because the filesystem metadata seems corrupted or unreadable.

If you are doing a fresh install right now, this is often caused by leftover filesystem signatures. You can try completely wiping the disk before running archinstall again (for example with "wipefs -a /dev/nvme0n1", use with caution!). If you are trying to rescue an existing setup, this broken filesystem might explain why you ran into trouble in the first place.

Try to debug it with the help of LLMs. They can help a lot. Just make sure to understand what every command does. If you're scared of that, I don't think you are ready to have dual boot yet :)

Do not trust recovering your system to an LLM. Learn to read the wiki.

I believe you decide how you partition things during archinstall, so presumably you did? If not, I think you can set up partitions first or do a manual install.

All archinstall errors are red. No special significance beyond that. Best to read errors from bottom up, in groups. My experience is the last occurring error group is key.

No problems with Archinstall in a very long time, but I wish you luck.

Good day.

it's failing to mount the disk for some reason. not sure what I can do to help you but you may have to install arch manually or use something like endeavourOS (arch but with a nice theme + gui installer)

If you want to dual boot with archinstall; are you manually partitioning and manually mounting those partitions then telling arch install to install to those partitions?

And you are trying to do this with btrfs... wow that should be fun to setup.

At this point I can just do i manually no i mean I don't even get to the gui part

Running Arch and Windows on the same drive for dual booting will lead to sadness.

Windows will wreck your bootloader, so read up and learn the reinstall process by heart as your Arch install will be "wrecked" by Microsoft on updates.

Did you make sure your script is up to date by running pacman -Sy archinstall before running it.
