Installing Windows 8 in UEFI mode using a usb is not working for me. I followed various instructions on the web on making a UEFI bootable usb, but to no avail.
On my (ASUS) computer's booting menu, I am able to boot both the normal usb and UEFI usb, and when I boot without UEFI, I can get to the installation process without any problems, but only a blinking cursor shows up when I try the other one.
Something to note, however, is that I had no problem installing Ubuntu (12.04) using UEFI from a usb on my computer.
Any ideas?
