I know and I did accept that. but all I wanna say is this is no related to the video.
You can’t know that. And I won’t what the video to find out. You need to use windows recovery to reinstall the boot manager, it’s not something you can do from Arch.

Using MBR won’t fix I/O errors on the device
grazzolini 2022-08-26 17:40:48
mrsnailo 2022-08-26 17:40:25
Yes
How old is this hardware?
grazzolini 2022-08-26 17:40:52
It it even 64 bit?
mrsnailo 2022-08-26 17:41:07

sudo pacman -S gparted
I mean command to format without gui. As i am live booted with arch iso

I think you can try to use diskgenius under windows pe to repair esp
mrsnailo 2022-08-26 17:41:21

bios can definitely work with gpt partitions, which is the case for me

It introduces unnecessary complexity
GameO7er 2022-08-26 17:43:33
mrsnailo 2022-08-26 17:42:36
Whole hdd

first
fdisk -l
then please select the hdd you wanna delete / erase
ston 2022-08-26 17:43:51
Just one more ext4 /boot partition is needed
GameO7er 2022-08-26 17:44:16
mrsnailo 2022-08-26 17:42:36
Whole hdd

let assume you selected “sdb”
then use this command:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
then you can press “m” for help
ston 2022-08-26 17:44:18
Then gpt can work properly on the bios
