Hello,
Apologies if this topic has already been covered,
My wife has a HP Sleekbook 15-b050sa which came with Win 8 pre-loaded, problem is my young son knocked it off the table causing the hard drive to completely crash, doesn't spin up properly, when it does spin it makes a scraping sound and then a click/knock.
I have a new HDD and I also have a Win 8 ISO which I got through my Dreamspark account.
I have plenty of experience with building and rebuilding Win 7 systems but this is the first time I've had to look at a Win 8 install.
I have created a UEFI USB with Rufus and the Win 8 ISO, ensuring GPT and bootable are selected but I can't seem to boot into install, I have tried accessing the menu to select boot device, I can get into the bios
UEFI Boot order is
OS boot manager
USB diskette on key/USB Hard Disk
USB CD/DVD ROM
! Network Adapter
Legacy Boot order is
USB diskette on key/USB Hard Disk
Notebook Hard drive
USB CD/DVD drive
! Network adapter
Can anyone offer any advice?, I can't afford to send it to HP as it out of warranty.
Any advice would be brilliant.
Thanks in advance
