You're encountering an issue where Manjaro fails to boot after installation, reporting a sector read error on the first disk. This could indicate a problem with the disk itself rather than just a configuration issue. Cleaning the disk and converting it to MBR doesn't seem to resolve the problem, so it's likely the drive is failing or has physical issues. Consider checking the disk's health using tools like CrystalDiskInfo and possibly replacing it if necessary.

No, the HDD was not converted to MBR after installing Manjaro.

The drive was created using Manjaro during setup. Mounting it from a live system should allow access to its files.

Yeah it works great too. I swapped in a different SSD and it installed just perfectly. So maybe my SSD is dying or has something screwed up from a windows partition

It's tough to determine, but you could run some checks on the disk using tools like CrystaldiskInfo.

I performed the task on Windows. The tools like Crystal, SMART, and Samsung magician confirmed the drive is okay.

It seems there might have been an issue during the setup. If you attempt to retry and encounter the same problem, we could investigate further. GRUB can sometimes be tricky to troubleshoot.

I used it three times but it kept failing. People suggest updating the grub, though I’m not very comfortable with the grub console.

You can upgrade Grub from a live setup, often preferring a clean Arch installer for quicker boot times. However, I'm confident Manjaro can achieve similar results. Launch a terminal, mount your root partition (e.g., /mnt), then chroot into it: sudo arch-chroot. Once logged in to your system, run the commands to update the grub package with pacman and reinstall it to the drive: grub-install /dev/sdX. Make sure /dev/sdX refers to the entire disk, not just a partition. To verify the drive name, use fdisk -l. Restart the process and regenerate the grub configuration with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. After completion, the system will be updated and ready. The fstab file contents are available in /etc/fstab; feel free to share them.
