Can't boot from usb !!!!

So I have just put a new Samsung 850 500gb in my pc as a Windows disk and a Samsung 1tb ssd for games.

I was told it's easier to install Windows via usb,I have everything on the usb but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas as its bugging me now.

I used rufus

I think it's all done correctly as I checked and Windows was on the usb

Yes it's set to usb

I've had to dig out my dvd drive as I've wiped my old ssd and can't check the usb to see if it's ok.

Have you got a UEFI board? If so, what settings did you use in Rufus?

I dont think i have one of those boards,im still on a i7920 and quite sure the board is a gigabyte.

I'm still installing windows !!!!

5 hours now and its getting tiresome.

I dont have a overclock on,im on speed step.

I done it all now,had to get into windows with the disk and it was just playing up big time,stuck the usb with windows on and it went like a dream,it was quicker aswell.

Just cant understand why the usb did not work,do you think it was because the drive was brand new and hadn't been formatted ?
