My process for creating the partitions is as follows: dev/sda4: /, encrypted Arch root, cryptsetup/ext4 (created) With that out of the way, here's the process I used:


Just wanted to add that, as almost all issues involving dual boot inevitably bring about the suggestion to "just chainload windows from grub/syslinux/etc." the other way around! The computer drive is encrypted with McAfee Endpoint Encryption, and doing anything whatsoever with the MBR from outside of Windows will brick my computer. Just a note up front from scouring the internet for ideas: I cannot use syslinux (or any other bootloader) to chainload Win7 vs. I got a new work computer and am trying to recreate my formerly successful setup, which I documented here some time ago.

The Arch install is sound, it's getting win7/EasyBCD to load it that's the issue. Narrowed down the issue to something unrelated to Arch, and felt this was more accurate. EDIT: title was 'Dual boot with Win7, easybcd + syslinux, getting "Boot error"'.
