Hi
This won't work with a PCI USB 3 adapter because the BIOS will not be able to boot from the USB 3 adapter because it has no code to access the adapter that you have added.
I suggest you look at the other article on adding Win8 to your existing Windows HDD as a dual boot option - or - use a slower USB 2 port (you can still use a USB 3 flash drive as long as you boot from the mainboard's USB 2 ports as the BIOS knows how to boot from those and USB 3 Flash drives are generally faster than USB 2 flash drives).ss0
