this is all i could find, as you can see it's .exe only so i didn't have any other option. I had to install win and flash it =/
By the way, i installed arch successfully, running slim and xfce. Thanks for your efforts, cheers!
stefo, do you know if you are uefi booting or if you are legacy BIOS booting? I have the same model system as you and I updated to the same BIOS version as you, but now I can't UEFI boot into any version of Linux. I can't figure out why.
Thanks,
-D

]]>EDIT: I found on internet that there is newer bios update for B570, i will install win 7 and flash the bios to the newest version, reset the factory settings, and then try again. I will report back when i am done. His bios version: 44CN28WW, mine: 44CN42WW, and the newest on the internet: 44CN43WW (i will flash to this one)
Cheers!
]]>mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
mount /home/stefo/Downloads/archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.iso /mnt/iso
Then copied everything from the iso to the usb:
cp -r /mnt/iso /mnt/usb
Unmounted and synced:
umount /mnt/{usb,iso}
sync
EDIT: I also tried with fdisk...
When i try to create new partition table with fdisk on my usb i get this:
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x601ad71e.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
EDIT: When i create new partition table and new FAT32 partition with fdisk, and then try to mount like this:
mount /dev/sdb1 -t vfat /mnt/usb
I get this, and the usb is not mounted:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
dmesg | tail
[ 1678.604687] FAT-fs (sdb1): bogus number of reserved sectors
[ 1678.604696] FAT-fs (sdb1): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem
EDIT: My mistake sorry, i didn't used mkfs.vfat -F32 to format the partition, i forgot to do that
EDIT: When i try this, i get Permission denied:
sudo awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf | xargs mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 -n
EDIT: I don't know why the previous command didn't worked but this one worked:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 -n `awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf` /dev/sdb1
Just to check i open gparted and i can see my usb /dev/sdb, one partition sdb1 FAT32 label: ARCH_201212. I copied the content from the iso to the usb, unmounted both the iso and usb folders and sycned, and again i get black screen..
]]>It kind of sounds like it is indeed booting the \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi (which is gummiboot), but then is unable to boot the live media because it is looking for a filesystem labelled ARCH_201212.
Edit: Also, if you something to add, it is typically much better form to use the "edit" button rather than post over and over again. I think the one case in which it might be better otherwise is if it has been a while and you need to add relevent information about your (non)progress in addition to getting it more attention. But I think adding a new post every few minutes is probably not a good time to do this.

pressing d: Default boot entry permanently stored (asterisk shows next to the currently selected item, if i press d again the asterisk is cleared and i get this message: Default boot entry cleared.)
pressing e shows: initrd=\arch\boot\x86_64\archiso.img archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201212 (and i can edit this line)
pressing q boots the picked item
As for the USB install media, ^^ .
