Hey guys, forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, its my first time here:
I have just upgraded to:
i5 4670k
GA-z87-UD3
G-Skill DDR3 1600 8GB
Sapphire R9 270x 2gb Toxic Ed
My problem is this, my old dvd/cd drive is IDE, this board doesnt have IDE support, I have plenty of 4GB flash drives, but none big enough for windows, so I created a bootable install of Win8 on my phone SD card, which worked.
I'm using a Win8 iso with a key from work, this is a work PC at home, it's a legitimate install before anyone says anything .
I cannot boot with my phone connected, I can choose the usb device from the bios boot order, but I just get a boot loop when I try to boot from it.
Any advice on this? Will it even work?
I really exhausted all my funds on the PC so i cant afford a new dvd drive.
thanks heaps for any help you guys can offer
