My brother's HP laptop is broken and unfortunately he doesn't have any repair discs to restore windows. The computer is unable to auto recover and requires repair media.
So far I've been following this tutorial to copy an ISO onto a USB drive.

The ISO that I'm using is the Windows 8 Enterprise trial. I heard that it would allow recovery to take place.
I've changed the USB drive to be first upon booting but there isn't a "press any key to continue" for booting off of USB. Instead the computer hangs on the HP logo screen for a long time and there's a timer effect underneath. If I'm patient enough the entire screen turns black and nothing else happens.
Edit: I tried using the USB on my Desktop and found it worked. I simply went into the ASUS uefi and changed the boot to uefi usb.
There's probably something I'm not understanding about the HP.
