UNetbootin fails twice

I'm trying to install Arch using Unetbootin on two different Hp laptops.  Both times, arch starts loading up but then it says "boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds...".  What can I do about this?

more info:
scisci Direct Access Generic Multi Card
Driver sd needs updating - please use bus_type methods
sd [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt.

then i get:

ramfs$ ^@

Re: UNetbootin fails twice

I don't know if this will help but..I had a random Ubuntu iso. I used unetbootin with it. Booted up fine. Fedora works as well. There is something about Arch it doesn't like.
