Better you get a pendrive. use the following tool to make the pendrive bootable using the iso image

It is microsoft's official tool to make windows 7 iso bootable on USB. But it can be also used to boot windows 8 bootable.

Use the Microsoft deployment toolkit to create the bootable media for you. Don't be messing with ImageX by hand unless you have to. The deployment share can be run from the USB if you like as well.
