Live Media (Dvd) device failure (win10, alienware)

I've installed before with win7 and arch. I've also installed on vms multiple times. However, I now am trying to dual boot win10 and arch. I've read the documentation.

I'm having issues and I think its mostly because I don't understand win10 well enough. I've made a live dvd of arch (recent aug 1 upload).

When I try to boot into the dvd, I get a black screen with the following error: .../EFI ..... vmlinux...access denied

Then I get a blue screen with a single box in the center that says in white text: loader.efi device failure

I've already turned off secure boot in the UEFI firmware and turned off fast startup in win (going into the power settings in control panel).

I've done a bit of research and can't find anything firm for what to do at this point. Everything I see just says to turn off secure boot / fast startup. I've already done that.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Some specs:
alienware 14
Bios version: Alienware A01 (6/6/2013)
Windows version: Microsoft windows 10 home single language
