Tried both dd (Cygwin 6) and Rufus (MBR for BIOS/UEFI since I want it to be bootable for both).
So I downloaded a live image of my favourite distro: Crunchbang, but I can't for the life of me, make a UEFI-bootable USB stick from it. And I am considering installing Linux on it maybe Win7, but I'd need to get a USB CD for that. I bought an Acer Aspire E1-510P-4459 with Windows 8.1.
