Why is the flash drive behaving abnormally?
After importing the bytecode of the iso image through the dd utility, the flash drive broke down.
First, I burned the ArchLinux image to my 4 gig stick. Subsequently, the file system was recognized as isofs, and 7 MB out of 37 were free (it was loaded from under Windows). I was unable to format the disk with the capabilities of the standard Windows formatter.
After that, I rebooted from under linux, and drove the USB flash drive with zeros (dd if=/dev/zero fo=/dev/sdc).
Further, the flash drive, as it were, succumbed to formatting from under Windows. But I'm trying to burn an image to it using Windows 7 USB / DVD Download Tool 1.0 , and at the copying stage I get an error "We were unable to copy your files. Please check your USB device and the ISO file and try again":
What's wrong with my flash drive? How to fix the situation?
Found a solution. What is described here helped: ardamis.com/2012/03/03/windows-7-usbdvd-download-t...
Open CMD:
diskpart
list disk
select disk #
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format quick fs= fat32
assign
exit I realized
that the key place to understand was "creating an active partition on the flash drive".
To anyone who has the same problem, good luck!!
The files were copied, but everything stopped at the stage:

There is a solution. Anyway. If anything, you can still go to Gparted and recreate the partition table. Then you can make sections yourself. In general, there is info on the Internet on how to create a multiboot flash drive (put grub there and unpack iso's)
If I remember correctly how this is done on Windows, then try fixmbr
