Unable to create working USB live medium

I seem to have a quite common problem, at least I found a few very similar topics on the forum. However, I didn't find any that offered a solution I could use.

My secondary harddisk with arch broke so I replaced it. Now I want to reinstall arch but before I started I wanted to update my live USB device, from where I installed arch the first time. I again used Live Linux USB Creator but I'm getting the following message when booting from the USB:

SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H. Peter Anvin et al
Unknown keyword in configuration file: PATH
boot/syslinux/whichsys.c32: not a COM32R image
boot:

Pressing tab shows the options "select pxe sys" but each gets me the message that the kernel image couldn't be found.

I checked the USB Flash Installation entry on the wiki and tried different methods to create the bootable device. All with the same result so I assume the problem is with the new distribution. I saw a few workarounds but none that I could try on Windows (which is all I can successfully boot at the moment unfortounately).

Thanks in advance
