My netbook came with Windows 8 and then I put Linux Mint on it (overwriting Windows). I am now trying to do the reverse: reinstall Windows and overwrite Linux. I have tried installing from a USB.
I have put the Win8 iso on a USB using:
- the default system tool
- Unetbootin
Neither install method worked. Note it is a UEFI BIOS. I have also tried Windows 7 and Windows 10.
The USB drive either doesn't show up and when it does it says that it cannot find a bootable disk to start from.

1As it is currently written, we can't really help you. Please edit your question and add additional information. What is not working? What have you tried? What error do you get (if applicable)? Basically, where are things not working? Otherwise I would just say, put in the dvd and boot from there and install windows. Now this obviously is not going to work, but your question does not really tell us where you need help. – LPChip – 2015-08-28T17:38:01.710
Alright sorry for not being clear enough :
What is not working: I cannot install windows over the Linux Mint OS that I have currently installed on my PC.
What have you tried: I have tried booting from a USB. I have tried this in a couple different ways, that being through Unetbootin and the default tool for making a bootable USB stick.
What error do you get: The USB either doesnt show up and when it does it says that it cannot find a bootable disk to start from. – TinyC2x – 2015-08-28T18:36:58.010
