Windows Installing Problem!

[AceZero]

I know this should be simple but it is not working for me. I bought an Windows 8.1 product key on microsoft's website, I found a website to download the iso file for windows 8.1, and putted on a usb. When I use the usb to boot it keeps on saying that replace boot device with a proper one. And now because of my constant rebooting of the computer, it sometimes won't go in to bois.

 

My set up is:

AMD fx4350 4.2 ghz

Nvidia GTX760 EVGA SC

ASUS M5A97 R2.0

KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS 8GB RAM single stick

120 GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD

CX600 PSU

.iso's are meant for a DVD...

Have you tried loading the iso onto a DVD? Also you can have the BIOS pause after it loads.

Make the ISO bootable

Don't use it in a USB 3.0 port

I tried dvd as well

what do you mean by bootable?

[roberto++]

you cannot drag and drop an iso on to a flash drive

 

you need to use a software to expand the iso file for the bios to recognize as a bootable device.

 

you can use microsoft tool for windows iso files -> http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

 

 

if you have other iso files not from microsoft, you can use YUMI -> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/

 

what do you mean by bootable?

That might be an issue, make sure the flash drive is formated in exFAT, to be able to have it be used in both a windows environment and a mac os environment.
