Hello, this tips may be can help.

1.  Make an Windows 8 ISO image file with a ISO maker. Nero, UltraISO can help you make an iso file from CD/DVD disc.

 

2. Use Windows 8 usb install tool to make an Windows 8 usb installation disk. You can use Finalbooster or Windows 7/8 usb/dvd download tool to burn your Windows 8 image disk to the usb.

Reference: see http://www.asunsoft.com/how-to/install-windows-8-with-usb.html

 

3. Boot your computer from Windows 8 usb installation disk, then you can install windows 8 by follow the installation guide. Note, you must set your computer to boot from usb drive before doing this operation. If your computer is a hp latop, follow this: Insert USB Flash drive to computer and restart HP computer. When HP Logo appears, press F9 to immediately to enter BOOT MENU (Boot Device Options), and then choose USB flash drive to boot from.
