cannot install windows 8 64bit on laptop

[vartok]

I just upgraded the ram and HDD on my gateway LT41P05u netbook and was going to change it to the 64bit version of windows 8. but no matter how i made the usb drive, it would not see it as bootable. Just for the hell of it, i tried loading the 32 bit version and it loads into the installer right away. why is this and is there anyway around it. Wanting to change because when i did the ram, the 32bit version said only 2.89GB was usable.

Have you disabled secure boot from bios?

Are you creating the usb stick from a disk or a downloaded iso file? If it's from a iso file try redownloading it and if possible check the sha hash to make sure it downloaded correctly.

the usb stick works in another computer, just not this laptop.

Must be somehting a miss with the laptop, obviously. You've seem to have done about everything imaginable to get it to boot.
