I try to makeit short.

I want to do a clean installation of win 8 64 bit.
I have downloaded a win 8 64 bit ISO file
I have used a program and copied it to usb that made bootable.
I press win+I and I choose advanced startup and choose USB/UEFI
The computer boots but I get the error message:"selected boot device failed"

I have tried with 2 different memory sticks and I have tried in all USB port but still the same error message.
Please help.

Thanks.

I finally made it possible to boot with my USB. But now I have encountered another problem. I choose the installation Windows only
(since I want a clean install).
Then I am asked "where do you want to install windows"?
Then I get the message "we couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click load driver"

Ok, what should I do now? No drives are showing.

Go back to the INSTAL NOW screen, than remove the USB to another port, than click INSTAL NOW.

Sounds like a bad ISO, re-download.

you think itcan be something wrong with my usb memory stick or you think its most likely the ISO?
Do you know a good source to download win 8. iso?
I have paid for win 8 and its already on my computer now.

If Pre-installed, You can order OEM Recovery disks from your OEM manufacturer's website.
Most OEM's will ship Recovery DVD's for FREE, (may be a postage fee)

U know I think I just give up the clean install of windows. What about choosing the "reset pc to factory settings" option?
At least this should work without any problems? and I an uninstall bloatware later.
