Well after a closer look - Seems like the OLD 8.0 iso image is still on the USB. Not the new 8.1
I have tried to redo the dd command to copy the 8.1 iso - I get no errors - but it still comes up with the 8.0 I then tried to remove the partitions, save and recopy. still same old boot menu.
Is there a trick to write over the UEFI stuff ?
