This is the guide I followed when I was installing Arch manually. I hope the method has not changed. Make sure to choose the correct partition if you're planning on dual booting.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Installing arch on OneDrive is an entertaining concept
But Microsoft would cuck your Arch install if it were somehow installed onto onedrive D':
It would still somehow manage to overwrite whatever would pass for a boot loader
So did you actually turn off secure boot in your UEFI setup? Or did you just state that it's off to archinstall?
I turned it off in bios. Sorry for confusion due to order of information or wording.
I had a similar issue with my laptop, where Arch wouldn't be recognized as a bootable system on my NVMe drive unless I disabled RST with Optane on the BIOS, setting it to AHCI mode.
I do remember seeing a similar issue a while ago as well, but I don't remember if the user managed to fix it.
I could suggest removing the Windows drive, installing Arch and checking if everything works, then plugging the Windows drive back in. Windows loves to delete non-Windoes bootloaders from every drive it can.
Ultimately, I removed the windows drive, it booted. But yay Novideo, I mean Nvidia drivers on arch is a pain.
From past forums reading I remember that a boot loader in Linux can have trouble booting properly when you use two different physical drives (Rather than one drive and different partitions), I think it needs to specifically get to know about both drives. Does this help ?
That very well may help, I read a bit of what you sent. I will have to try when not at work. Thank you!
have you turned off avx512
I have not, but I can look into how to do that. What would that do, if I may ask?
it's an instruction set only available in early 12th gen intel chips, so you can usually go into the bios and find settings to turn it off.
What benefit would disabling it have for someone such as myself?
it just didn't boot for me when that was enabled
