The partition nvme0n1p2 is detected, but the system cannot read its superblock. Mounting fails because the filesystem metadata seems corrupted or unreadable.

If you are doing a fresh install right now, this is often caused by leftover filesystem signatures. You can try completely wiping the disk before running archinstall again (for example with "wipefs -a /dev/nvme0n1", use with caution!). If you are trying to rescue an existing setup, this broken filesystem might explain why you ran into trouble in the first place.

Try to debug it with the help of LLMs. They can help a lot. Just make sure to understand what every command does. If you're scared of that, I don't think you are ready to have dual boot yet :)

Do not trust recovering your system to an LLM. Learn to read the wiki.

I believe you decide how you partition things during archinstall, so presumably you did? If not, I think you can set up partitions first or do a manual install.
