You can't change the boot priorities in the BIOS?

On some models, you must have the usb device plugged in before the system will recognize it as being bootable.

i know, it is plugged in and nothing happens.. here was another guy with the same problem and this was the answer:
All you need to do is get into the bios through Win8 which can take a little work, but go to the Win8 settings 'charm' through one of the right corners then to PC settings/General and finally advanced startup (restart).
After it restarts, go to troubleshoot, advanced options, and UEFI firmware settings to get into the bios.
Disable Secure Boot under the bios 'Security' settings and enable CSM under the 'Advanced' bios settings to boot to USB or a DVD.

but i dont have these options in bios

The tool I use to make bootable USBs is a free tool that you just run called Rufus: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

I've used Rufus to make bootable USB drives of Windows 8.1 ISOs and also Hiren's Boot CD and it works a treat. Very quick and easy to do. It also works perfectly for UEFI computers too!

I know this is relatively outdated, but still want to say thanks for this guide as I still use it despite the Microsoft option.
