Okay. Please be specific exactly what phase of the installation process are you at? (Are you trying to boot from the HDD using the USB? or are you trying to boot from the USB using the USB? or are you trying to boot the HDD using the HDD?)

No, the idea of the forum is to share information so that other users may come behind and use solutions obtained in the threads.

Yes I have several .....

But you need to list the hardware otherwise we are just whistling in the dark.

The General Rule of thumb for EBIOS read errors is something in the SATA Drive chain (DVD or HD) is not ready or not their or is in an error condition.

You might try these ideas, with the boot flags give before.

Are you trying to boot from a USB 3.0 port? Try a 2.0 port.
Do you have any other external drives connected? Remove them.
Are you able to easily remove the optical drive? Take it out.

If you want to take some pictures of the bios configuration pages and link to them I will take a look.

Additionally, make sure you have the latest version of the UEFI/BIOS, you can find it on the ASUS support site. Sometimes that can resolve certain issues. In windows you can verify your bios version with "dxdiag"

for Windows 8/8.1 - [WinKey+x]->Click Run->"dxdiag"

[WinKey+R]->"dxdiag" might work too I don't know if the shortcut still exists in Windows 8

The first time you run dxdiag it may ask you about verifying driver signatures just accept it.
