Well, my dual boot attempt went disastrously wrong and destroyed my Windows partition..... So I figured I'll just go ahead and install Arch.
I have the i686-core.img file downloaded, formatted a 1gb drive as FAT, then used the flashnul method as described in the wiki to transfer over the img. When I boot from the drive on my laptop all I see is "GRUB" with no option to do anything else... Help?

->md5 matches up
I just tried again using the flashnul method, still nothing but "GRUB". I only have access to a Windows machine at the moment so I won't be able to do it from within linux. I'm not entirely sure what is going on the 2 links, I really have zero experience with this stuff
I had kind of hoped the usb boot would be straightforward, I was able to do it to install Windows

Unetbootin is the easiest way to do it from Windows, give it a try:

I couldn't get unetbootin to work either...
But, the image writer linked in the beginners guide of the wiki worked. Who would've though
