Media driver missing when installing W8 from a USB device on a Toshiba laptop
We are trying to re-purpose a Toshiba Model PSLBBU-0C403F Laptop to run a licensed copy of Windows 8.1 which we are installing from a bootable thumb drive.
We get the following message:
"A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash driver with the driver on it, please insert it now. Note: If the installation media for Windows is in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safely remove it for this step."
This is the thumb drive I am using http://www.walmart.com/ip/PNY-32GB-Metal-Micro-USB-Flash-Drive/20659844. How do I get past this?
I would prefer to make the thumb drive method work here instead of resorting to a DVD.

Mentioned so far:
Windows to USB download tool http://wudt.codeplex.com/
Bootable USB Stick http://www.winsetupfromusb.com/downloads/
My bootable stick needs to support other images also, including some that are Linux.

I'm using YUMI 2.0.1.5 from here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/. I have chosen to load the ISO using Grub which is one of the options.
The YUMI method does allow me to successfully install Windows 8 on newer laptops.
The one you mentioned is relatively old and is telling me that it needs .net framework version 2.0. We are up over version 4.5 of .net framework so it won't install.
