My computer was performing a system restore, and I got the BSOD. I was able to put a clean WIN8 ISO onto a USB drive using Rufus. I put the USB drive into computer, restarted, and the 'windows' logo appears, then nothing happens. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3521 with WIN8 pre-installed, my back-up USB would not work, or the computer would not recognize it. I followed the forum instructions, disabled safe boot, EUFI Legacy Rom, SpeedSet up is disabled, and I'm using a SanDisk Cruzer for the install. When the EUFI boots up, the options are Hard Drive, Network, CD/DVD and I added USB. However, when working on it before it recognized the SanDisk, now it does not. Am I using wrong USB port? (I'm using the one on left closest to front) It also has three other USB ports, three on the side I'm using and one on the side next to the CD/DVD drive. Please help????
