acer aspire one usb image - SOLVED

My mistake, shouldnt have included the 1 when using dd, was fixed by using...

sudo dd bs=8M if=arch2009.img of=/dev/sdb

when i try and install arch from a usb key, i get the text "GRUB" displayed and a flashing cursor, nothing else. I've tried formatting and re-writing the image to the usb key several times to no avail, always get the same reponse. I assume the usb key is fine as I put ubuntu onto it yesterday and it ran fine.

I tried using unetbootin and dd.

sudo dd bs=8M if=arch2009.img of=/dev/sdb1

I have tried the ftp as well as the core i686 img files.

any ideas people?
