I tried messing with the Bios as much as possible. Nothing. I am 100% certain. The HDD and USB work, same with USB ports. They all worked hours before trying to install W8 and tested the HDD and USB on another laptop.
Laptop HP Envy 15
Installing Windows 8.1 x64.
I have a feeling it's some kind of setting or something stupid!
I press f9 upon boot, select the USB and it shows a HP logo with a small circle showing that it's loading... then just a blank screen, no cursor or anything.
Not sure if it matters but the HP I am installing on only has usb3.0 ports. Does that make a difference? *****
I need someone to please break down every step.
Example:
Set Bios to Legacy or Uefi?
Disable Secure Boot?
When copying the W8 to USB should I do NTFS or Fat32?
Does the way I copy to USB matter since all USB ports on the HP are 3.0?
Please help, Very frustrating since I'm sure all parts are working and this was just working hours beforehand.
Thank You!
