My friend just recently got a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5307 and he's displeased with the Win8 experience. He asked me to install Win7 on the machine, but I can't for the life of me get it to boot to USB. I've tried all 3 USB ports, none of them seem to like the stick. It does say "Loading Files" with the progress bar on the USB 3.0 port, but it just goes to a Win8 PC diagnostic afterwards, and tells me Windows couldn't start properly. I tried booting to USB on my Acer Aspire (Also running Win8) and it worked without error. I don't know what to do.
I've set USB first in the boot order.
Something odd though is that when I press f12 in POST to get into the boot menu, USB is listed along with the other devices, but the device name isn't there, unlike everything else. The menu looks like this:
1. USB
2. HDD/SDD.........Toshiba MK507blah blah
3. ODD................TSSTcorp CDDVDW SN-blah blah
4. LAN.................EFI Network 0 for IPv4 blah blah
<Enter Setup>
<HDD Recovery>
Please help me here, I'm totally clueless.
