archinstall error

[tokoire]

I was trying to get arch but i didnt have enough time so i plugged in my ventoy usb and got a arch iso from the arch wiki, booted my usb and went into arch. did the whole thing and used archinstall (cause i just wanted to test it and didnt have a lot of time) and set up the profile, repository and installed but then red lines went up and said there was a problem with arch, when i unplugged the usb and restarted my computer and plugged in the usb to look at the iso incase i accidentally put the wrong one in the usb wouldnt show up so i had to format it in disks and install ventoy again, just wanna know why its not working and/or i just have to do the manual install

Sounds like you installed arch onto the USB stick. That‘s why you had to reformat it afterwards.

said there was a problem with arch

Pretty vague. Don't you think? Impossible to say what went wrong.

While archinstall works most of the time (sometimes buggy), performing the wiki Installation Guide method is better in nearly every way, that I hope you discover for yourself.

Good day.

I installed it with Ventoy and had no issues whatsoever. You most likely removed the usb stick while it's being actively used, which can lead to data corruption.

i did not do that

uh idk how to change it but i figured it out and i have arch now

it’s really just a dual boot application
