I installed archlinux for second time - first time I just partitioned it using cfdisk(so propably mbr and grub doesnt delete properly.
System couldnt start and showed that partition with uuid xxx is not there.
I connected that disk to usb of another computes and here is uuid of boot partition, with everything what is on it:

Ok sorry.
The problem was that I didnt know that syslinux is alternative to grub. So I installed syslinux and also grub. Thanks
