How do you partition a 8 gb SD card on Arch? Cant access rest of my storage! I am new to arch so could you please not baffle me with jargon that I probably wont understand!!! Thanks alot guys

Put the card in another linux system or get a liveCD with gparted.
su or sudo su to root and run gparted, select your SD card from the top right (Assuming you've imaged to it already) and you can resize the partitions there by right clicking on them and clicking resize

sorry pepedog I have literally no idea how to use that; is there not some software I could download on my windows 7 machine and partition it from there??? Thanks or all your help!

There is no point partitioning on a windows machine, you won't be able to format second partition.
I thought you was using Linux.
On windows you have to unzip the img file out the zip, and download a program that burns the img to card, it does everything in one go (format, partition, copy data).
I'm sure details are on the download page.
