Instructions:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usb_install for a portable Arch Linux

You can follow the procedure using a livecd.
When you install Arch or AB from unetbootin it fails, I remember reading.

Most of the USB installation programs on Windows fail with Arch/ArchBang except maybe W32DiskImager.exe, and dd seems to be the only effective way with Linux.

GUI's?? We don't need no stinkin' GUI's!!!

Re: Howto install AB from windows on USB stick?

Now I am thinking out loud here but if you have a Archbang on CD you could use dd

dd if=/path/to/optical drive of=archbang.iso

It may even be possible to to output contents of cd directly to usb drive
