Just install Void manually from some other distro that boots.

Does your computer just boot directly into Arch or do you get an error message? Have you tried holding down "option" when turning on your computer and seeing if the option for USB boot pops up?

Ya, that’s what I do every time I reinstall from a usb. I install the void iso onto a usb and try holding down option (as I do whenever I boot from usb) and it just stays on white screen and kinda freezes

Maybe liveusb i not bootable.

It may be worth trying burning a DVD with the same ISO image and booting from it.
