Well, following that rufus guide and the settings I was unsure about then set to the ones you suggested tnx it's working perfectly on my brothers computer so successThanks
As for the optical drive discussion, yeah probably should've ordered one with the new system n' all, just didn't really think about it because I haven't used a CD in I don't even know how long, probably getting on 4-5 years now?
Everything is online nowadays and while I hit a wall here with the whole modern usb sticks being defaulted to a fixed drive as opposed to a removable drive in order to work with windows 8 and as a result not being a bootable drive however rufus was the way around that so thanks for the tips!
Now praying the replacement motherboard tomorrow isn't also faulty and all goes well!
Lets hope the new board comes and is OK..
Tell your builder to take his time, not to rush and hopefully all will go well.
keep us up to date.
