I want install Arch on a new laptop(that cureently runs Windows 10) I just bought. Since I don’t want to run through the installation manually(again) I want to use the installation script. Unfortunately I have a small problem. I can configure everything as I want, except the drives. When I click enter on the tab for the drives it opens a black screen with nothing in it. I can write in it anything I want, but commands don’t work. It is also impossible to exit this window except if I use ctrl+c. Does anyone knows how to fix this?

    You may need to clear your HDD first, run cfdisk I have had issues when doing an install over an existing OS, it doesn’t seem to like having existing data so you have to clear it first with the command then rerun the install script.
