Strange, I've never seen an error like this before. Anyways I did a quick search and found this article listed below so try and see if that fixes your error. If not I'd ask on the official arch linux forums. Hope this helped you out somewhat  ;)

First of all Thanks for the reply and your care and Sorry for the late reply :). Well the above method haven't solve my problem :'(. I guess the solution is for already installed machine not for the system going to be installed btw I can access the pendrive in Linuxmint

Well if installing from a usb won't work try burning the image to a cd and see if you have any luck with that.

You said you used dd on Mint? What was the exact command that you ran?

# dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync

Hmm. You could try doing it with just the very basic syntax.

Code: [Select]
dd if=/path/to of=/dev/sdx

dd can be sensitive. This has never failed to work for me.

Let u know after trying. Thanks  ;D

No use mate, Same problem. I tried to run it from the cd rom by the help of my friend also unplugging all the usb devices still shows the same problem.

In
Code: [Select]
root@archiso ~ #           Typing "lvs" shows no 'No volume groups found'

Looks like either your USB media is dead or there is a driver issue.
Can you provide the output of dmesg ?
In certain cases I know a USB3.0 port fails due to some driver related issues.

You tried enabling IOMMU  in the bios ?
Also is this a new system , as in UEFI/modern board ?

Well disabling USB ports in bios lead to archiso login page without any error. I thought "archiso login: root (automatic login)" is a error, later I realized arch changed their installation method from the blue screen(http://qandasys.info/arch-linux-installation-on-vmware-will-not-proceed/#comments) . Sorry for the trouble I caused to you guys  . Thanks a lot for helping me specially "proxx", "lucid", "rytiou"
