Can someone tell me if it's possible to partition a drive in the Arch installation process so that I have one for the boot, one for data, one for swap, and then one that will act basically as just an external storage device that Windows will be able to read? I don't want 95% of my 1tb drive going to waste because I really need that extra space, and I would like to be able to use it in Windows as well. I remember having this exact setup when I installed BusenLabs 6 or so months ago but I only had two partitions, one for the OS and the rest was exfat I think.

Ok thanks, I think I'll just do it through gparted on a live USB to make it less of a headache

Totally possible, and quite easy.
I guess it's not on the Arch Wiki though, right, so basically impossible for you to figure out how to do, right?

Can you teach me how to be a 1337 hacker like you and install Arch and use CLI without any help or online searching? No need to be a snarky jerk.

Make all four partitions, format swap for swap, ext4 for both boot and arch, and fat/ntfs for the bridge one.
Ignore the boot partition and install arch normally to the arch partition
Once booted into your new arch install, copy vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img to boot, copy over grub.cfg and /boot/grub, run grub-install /dev/sda --compress=xz --target=i386-pc --recheck and figure it out from there.

Don't install arch if you don't even know how to partition...
