Hello vdias!

Did you try to install from hard disk ?

unetbootin makes bootable usb disks from isos. Arch doesnt need this since they provide .img files which you can just write with dd (on windows you can download dd at least i hear you can) and write to your usb stick.

Your "without usb" title is confusing... I'm guessing its not what you meant

I am having issues with unetbootin as well (post is here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 4#p612834). But after reading your issue I will try to use dd and an .img file to see if it works.

There is a dd for windows: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd

But Intel has a page on it available here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/article … or_Windows

Even tells you how to do it..

Writing to you via a new Arch install. Don't know if you have solved your issue yet but I have and I thought I would share it with you.

All I ended up doing was grabing an Arch instal .img file and using a friends Ubuntu install and dd to get it on to the usb drive. Everything was fine from there. There is something about unetbootin and Arch that causes them to not play nice. Using dd on Windows should work as well.

Best of luck.
