Hello...I will start from the begining .

I bought the V5 and tried booting it up...it came with boot-up Linux which means nothing to me so I made a Windows 8 bootable USB and the problems started. First I could'n find the USB and after enabling the Legacy mode it finally found it and booted from it. Turned out the partitions are GPT and as I made the USB MBR it couldn't install so I canceled which I guess was my mistake but there was no other option. After that I created the bootable USB with GPT partition scheme and tried again. Unfortunately this time I got something called GNU GRUB....wth? I googled around and found the commands required for booting - root (hd1,0), then chainloader +1 and finally boot. Then I get the famous The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors with Status: 0xc000000e. Of course tried that couple of more times but still to no avail. I cannot recover or repair as Windows was never really installed, so I don't know what to do....Hopefully someone here would be able to help. Thanks in advance guys.

Hey, make sure to use a 64bit version of Windows. UEFI does not support 32bit. Then you will see your USB in BIOS. UEFI-install has some advantages, e.g. faster boot up under Win8. If you still can't find your USB it is probably not bootable. Use Rufus to create a bootable USB-device (GPT for UEFI, FAT file system)

If you can install Windows8.1 instead of 8 ... this will save a lot of time and maybe problems.
