That's difficult indeed. Grub will be installed in the MBR of the first disk

Having Arch on the first BIOS disk including grub is probably easier, but
you have to do some magic device-swapping in Windows' grub entry, which will
otherwise refuse to start. I don't exactly remember the details.



Do you think I should physically swap the hard disk locations? Such as
put Windows on the second SATA port and Arch on the first SATA port?
Thanks.

Swapping the boot device order in BIOS will do the same.
