This is my first post here, so here goes. I'm currently snowed in and unable to go buy any DVDs or flash drives right now, and I need to create a bootable drive loaded with a Windows 8.1 ISO.
I discovered I'm all out of blank DVDs and my flashdrive is currently in the hands of someone else, and I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 on my PC. I figured I could put a 16 GB micro SD in an external card reader and my computer would read it as a flash drive (which it does). So I extracted the contents of the .ISO onto my SD card (fat32) and rebooted, selected USB multiple card reader from the BBS popup window (I think that's what it's called, may be wrong) and I'm met with a little blinking line on the top left of the screen and nothing else happens...... did I do something wrong with the .ISO or is my PC having trouble reading the SD card as bootable? Thanks in advance for any help guys!
