Need help getting to existing Arch install

Hello, I have Arch installed and Win7, I have been using Win7 for a while but now need to get into my Arch install to move/delete files (ext3/4 drives). I have Ext2fsd and have accessed my ext3/4 drives just fine (copying/viewing).

However even with write permission in Ext2fsd I can't delete some folders/files, looks like I need to get into Arch, but I lost my grub install a while back to reinstall of Win7. I don't have a cd drive/burner in this PC. I have a couple USB sticks.

What's the simplest way to get into shell with full access to my drives for deleting/moving files on the ext3/4 drives? Can I do it with virtual machine, or would I need to install Arch to a USB stick and then? Thanks for any help

Burn the ISO to a USB drive and chroot in.

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...
