inspiron 7347 windows install after SSD swap

Greetings humans!

I got an inspiron 7347 and a crucial mx100 256gb SSD

when i install the drive it shows up in BIOS

but when i boot to install windows (funny how they gave me a dvd... on a laptop with no drive)

i either get no drive found, or a disk read error occurred. 

i created a USB windows 8.1 install disk and added the intel controller drivers

(from here www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=3NGJK)

i tested the USB install with another system and i can install windows fine with it.

This drive is fine as well (i tried installing windows on another system on this disk, which installed fine)

am i missing a step somewhere with this laptop?

thanks!
