Windows 8.1 installation from USB after deleting Windows Boot Manager in BIOS/UEFI

Hi,

I removed Windows Boot Manager option from BIOS (UEFI) with EasyUEFI, after reboot I got an error message about broken BCD, need to be recovered, I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1.1 Pro X64 from USB installation, which I prepared with Rufus, there I set GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer, but when I tried to boot from this USB and perform installation I get the message Operation System not found.

I played with boot settings in BIOS, tried all possible boot combinations: legacy, Secure Boot On/Off, BIOS/UEFI but I still can't make my Windows USB Boot stick work.

The only I can do is to install Ubuntu/Xubuntu on my laptop, but I need Windows. I also tried to completely rebuild disk partitions during Xubuntu 14.04 installation and after that retry to install Windows, but it doesn't work too.

I paid attention, that before I deleted Windows Boot Manager I could add Windows 8.1.1 boot option from USB in BIOS/UEFI, but now there is no such option, it only let choose SATA and not USB.

How to install Windows after I removed Windows Boot Manager from the BIOS boot tab?

I'm using Dell Vostro 3460 laptop, with the latest system BIOS v.A19.
