Hey,
I currently have a laptop with Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.10 on it, and I have been trying to get 10.10 installed on it as well. The only issue I have come across is getting the USB to show in Grub 2. The odd thing is the USB is not showing in the bios either (but it is showing on the bios of my desktop where I have Windows 8.1 and OSX 10.10 installed, and used the same usb to boot). I plugged in another USB to see if it wouldn't detect any USB's at all, but it seemed to detect my Ubuntu Installer USB via bios.
I tried the following commands to get Grub to detect the USB (I apologize if I look absurd, since I don't know my way completely around grub xP):
The error was "error: invalid EFI file path." Which I know obviously means I'm missing a load of steps (or am on the wrong staircase completely).
I have gotten Mavericks installed on this laptop before, when I never had Linux on it in the first place, so I am determined there is a /quick/ solution. The laptop model is an Asus n550jv.
Thanks for any insight.

Code:
set boot=(hd1,msdos1) # the partition of the usb
chainloader +1 # this is where the error occurred
