However, after installation I could not boot neither Arch nor Windows. Grub appeared, but every single option gave me an error. I can't remember anymore which error it was, but It doesn't matter anymore. I thought I had made a really stupid and basic mistake while installing, I https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=808284 just didn't know what.I wanted to test KDE4.2 so much so I installed Kubuntu (yeah, this topic is not related to Arch Linux, I hope that somebody can help me though, move this topic to somewhere else if it doesn't belong here ). Installation was fine, booting to Kubuntu was fine (and upgrading to KDE4.2 was fine), but https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64107 booting to Windows was not.

The only difference was that at first grub gave me error 15 (I fixed it with Kubuntu LiveCD). After that - no difference.I need Windows for playing. That's why it's very important that I can use it. [SOLVED] In addition, I should say that /dev/sda is a separated hard drive which is encrypted with Truecrypt. (I said this because I think that Kubuntu tried to install grub on (hd0)...) When I tried to mount this hard drive with Kubuntu, it couldn't do it. I wanted to test mounting on Windows to check if it is just Kubuntu's problem. If not, I'm fucked be
