Can't load off of usb disk

I used pendrivelinux to make a boot disk for arch.

I got to the arch load screen and attempted to run the Live option.  However, I keep getting these USB errors, such as "usb 1-2: device no accepting address 4, error -71" and so on.

Help?

Re: Can't load off of usb disk

The power is failing on the USB stick.
It may be because it's old, been used a lot, or it could be a problem with the USB ports on your PC.

You shouldn't be using PenDriveLinux to do Arch Linux. Follow the instructions in the Wiki and use "dd".

The wiki pointed me to pendrive, but I'll try it your way for grins.
