Trouble with .iso file, cannot create a usb (Solved)

I want to install Arch from a USB but can get "Startup Disc Creator" to recognize the Arch iso file.
I am running Ubuntu 21.04 and 20.04 on two different machines and have tried this on both with the same results.
I run the startup disc creator and with a USB stick inserted in a USB port. it sees the drive and I can select the iso file but it never appears in the creator. All other iso appear. Only the iso for Arch never appears. I tried downloading the iso a few times, so that's not the problem. (bad download.)
Is there a different way to create a bootable USB with Arch?
I can burn a DVD and that works, but the machine I want to install on does not have a DVD drive.

Try to follow the official installation guide. Instead of downloading multiple times to see if it's working, verify the download and check the gpg signature instead.
Also in the same page is a link on how to write the image to disk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_fl … ion_medium

Thank you for the reply. I got Arch installed, now I have to get it configured, adding a user, and a desktop, and a few other things I think I can figure it all out from here.
