complete beginner so dont judge me but few days ago been trying to get more into linux so i installed arch. just today i deleted a separate partition on my disk and i couldnt access arch anymore, it wasnt showing on the bios. so i tried installing arch again using archinstall and it unmounted all the partitions on my disk.

is everything just gone now? i feel dumber and dumber as i write this because i just dont know what to do.

it just says the partition doesnt exist

the partition doesnt exist? what does lsblk say?

if the partition really doesnt exist then you either deleted the partition or destroyed the partition table. either way, if you dont have important data on it then id recommend you just abandon the install, delete everything and make a new one. otherwise you could try your hand at some linux file recovery tools (windows ones are almost certainly a scam).

i guess they got deleted. it sucks because ive used windows for years, and all the data is just gone. i do think i can just start fresh though.
