A google search for that error code reports that a lot of people have that error due to a corrupt installer (install disk or flash drive). How did you prepare that flash drive? You might want to go back to where you got it ready and redo it, making sure the source you are copying the 8.1 files to the drive from is good.

If you are copying the 8.1 files from a disk, make sure the disk is clean and not scratched. If you are copying a disk image, where did you download it from?

Also make sure that your windows copy is x64 bit (if your system is x64)

When you prepared the flash drive installer, what source did you copy the 8.1 files from?
