Solved: Booting from USB Flash drive

I installed Easeus ToDo Backup on my Dell 17R laptop running Win 8 and created a bootable Flash drive. When I tried booting to it, the device was not listed in the boot menu because it was set to UEFI (The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). Looked it up in Wikipedia and it basically replaces the BIOS. So I selected Legacy and the device was then listed. So I selected the USB device in the one time boot list and tried to boot. Got "No bootable drive found". Tried manually changing the boot order in BIOS with same result. Even selecting the hard drive a the boot device with the BIOS set to Legacy results in the no bootable drive found. So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I'm going to post on the Dell forum to see what I get, but I'd appreciate any thoughts on this behavior.
