usb booting fail...

Hi, everybody!
I have a problem.
I used dd made a mirror.

root@wsl:~# dd bs=4M if=/media/e/archlinux-2014.05.01-dual.iso  of=/dev/sdb  && sync
134+1 records in
134+1 records out
564299776 bytes (564 MB) copied, 3.62754 s, 156 MB/s
root@wsl:~#

It is written above usb device.
but, When booting the system will prompt  "disk boot failure "

How can I fix it?

Re: usb booting fail...

Try wiping the boot sectors of the usb drive (first 512 bytes) and then dd the iso again in the way you already have done. So that would be something among the lines of:

# dd count=1 bs=512 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb && sync
# dd bs=4M if=/media/e/archlinux-2014.05.01-dual.iso  of=/dev/sdb  && sync
