I've been trying to install archlinux on my Lenovo B50-70 laptop and got stuck 
installing grub boot loader inconjunction with UEFI.

Either I'm miss understanding the wiki pages on the subject and/or the wiki 
pages could do with a bit more clarity.

I'm dual booting arch and windows 8.1, previously I had ubuntu 14.04 but when I 
upgraded to 15.04 it got too messed up so I decided to bite the bullet and go 
with arch.

The disk is currently split into 11 partitions
part    size    code    name
1       1 gb    2700    Basic data partion      windows or lenovo
2       260mb   EF00    EFI system partition
3       1 gb    ED01    Basic data partion      windows or lenovo
4       128mb   0C01    Microsoft reserved
5       71gb    0700    Basic data partion      windows system
6       25gb    0700    Basic data partion      windows or lenovo
7       14gb    2700    Basic data partion      windows or lenovo
8       153gb   0700                            shared NTFS data partition
9       78gb    8304                            Linux / 'root' partition
10      9 gb    8200                            swap
11      108gb   8302                            /home

when installing I have only used partitions 9, 10 & 11. partitions 1 - 8 were 
on the disc from the windows pre-install and shrunk to make way for linux.

A recent operation is affecting my concentration and comprehension so be kind 
please.
