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

Yes

How old is this hardware?

sudo pacman -S gparted

I think you can try to use diskgenius under windows pe to repair esp

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

It introduces unnecessary complexity

Whole hdd

archlinuxgroup-610118.jpg
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

archlinuxgroup-610120.jpg
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
