    Hello,

    I put W8 on a flash drive and tested it on my laptop(sig) with UEFI and it started W8 installation.

    I just installed an SSD Drive in the U310 Touch, So I need to reinstall Windows 8. I put the same flash drive in the U310 Touch(right USB Port) with USB Drive first in boot priority,

    In the Bios

    Intel RST - Disabled
    Controller Mode - AHCI
    Boot from USB Enabled
    Boot Priority - Has USB HDD and then the SDD as first and secound
    OS - W8 64bit

    But the flash drive sits there blinking and the installation does not start.


    What am I doing wrong?


    Edit: FIXED! U310 Wants FAT32 USB Drive, My Computer in the SIG works with NTFS, the W7 Tool I used formats in NTFS so that is why it hasnt been working.
