Heya Ebs512,
I havent tried this myself yet, so can confirm it works 110% but it should be worth a shot if you havent already figured out how to do it
Creating the Windows 8 Bootable USB Drive
Step 1: Download and extract WinUSB Maker on your computer. WinUSB maker is a portable application and thus does not require installation of any kind. You only need to run the .exe file.
Download WinUSB Maker from here [Freeware]:
Code:

Step 2: Run the WinUSB Maker tool with administrative privileges to start creating your bootable USB drive. (make sure you right-click on the file, and click "Run as Administrator")
Step 3: In the tool, select the option ISO image bootable disk under the Functions section. Select Normal Detection Mode and browse for the Windows 8 bootable ISO (Image file) you have already downloaded on your system.
Step 4: Finally, select the USB drive and drive MBR system (if you have a single one plugged in, it will be selected by default, if you have more than one, click on the dropdown menu and make a selection from the list) and click on the button Make it Bootable .
That’s all, the tool will now format the USB drive and copy all the Windows installation files to it and make it bootable.
You can now plug in the device into your system and select removable drive as your first boot selection preference in your BIOS and install Windows 8.
** Lemmie know how that worked out
