Are you telling BIOS to try to boot into the USB first?
RE: Guys I need your help :( - cr33pyguy - 01-21-2014
Why not just take the easy way, get uNetBootin, and make a bootable flash drive with that?

ˆ This is the other way...
open Boot options when booting and choose the USB?

I'm trying to install it off of the USB, thus why I need it to be bootable, so that when I restart it, Ubuntu boots from the USB, letting me install Arch Bang.
Open the ISO Image with WinRar if you're using Windows currently (Right click --> Open with) and then extract all your files to a folder on your desktop, create a new one called "Arch" or something. Once you've done this, format your USB again, don't worry about creating partitions on your USB as it isn't needed. Once you've formatted your USB, drag all the files from "Arch" or whatever you have named it onto your USB.
Now restart your computer and boot from USB. Works fine for me when I do it.

Try installing the OS onto your usb using the software unetbootin.

Thanks for the replies, I just used Unetbootin to use it, problem is, after like 5 minutes of using Archbang, everything stops opening, no matter how many times I click it ;-;

This is my only one(that I actually have access to)
and by stuff I mean terminal, web browser etc, it only works if I keep 1 of them open, but if I close all of them, and THEN try to open it, it won't.

This is weird. Have you installed it onto the local computer, or are you booting from the USB?

Booting from the USB, I decided to try Arch for shits n giggles, but I can't even get internet(when I ping I get unknown hostname)
So I may go back to archbang, but that problem of not being able to open anything will really annoy me :/

I see why that would piss you off...
I'm not sure whether that would have something to do with broken files, or the USB or your system...
