New Hard Drive not found

[Mike Kai]

Hello guys, today i got my new WD 500gb wd5000bkpx(something like that) and i inserted in my laptop and wanted to install windows 8 from usb(i got an ultrabook, sleekbook) but nothing happend. It only appears that I have to install a Os and no Bootable device found, Hard disk (3fo).
Can it be the differnt plugs on the Hard drive? Please help really urgent for school. Thank you very very much.

You need to go into the bios and designate the USB device as the one to boot from. If there is no USB device selected in the BIOS as a boot device, it won't begin the installation. Also, the USB device with the installer files on it needs to be bootable.
