XPS 13 9300(2020) Won't boot into the Arch install enviroment

Hello, I'm trying to install arch on my 2020 Dell XPS 13. I am using the latest ISO (May 2021), and when I attempt to boot into the installation environment, the BIOS runs a memory check, and then says that there is no bootable medium. I've heard that it is possible to install gentoo from another distro, can I do this with arch? I know that Ubuntu and fedora work on the laptop.

And what system is currently there?
Is there secure boot enabled in bios?
Ubuntu and Fedora work on this model or on yours laptop?

How did you create your installation media?

Note what is essentially the very first instruction in the wiki.

I am running Arch on the XPS 13 9300 model and everything works perfectly.
