    I have Win 8 lincensed (installed from link, not from CD), and need to install it on some PC I have,

    Only way to do it is through USB booting due to the PC not having CD Rom.

    Can anyone tell me how to do the booting?

    If you have the Windows 8 .ISO file, it can be "burned" to a USB flash drive using ISO2Disc. Make sure you use a fast 4GB flash drive and your computer is set to boot from USB storage first, ahead of the hard drive.

    I used this utility myself to install Windows 8.1 preview because for some reason the DVD I had burned wouldn't boot correctly. The USB flash drive, however, did.
