I did read this thread, however I can't seem to make it fit with what I'm seeing.

My wife actually went through the windows 8 setup, it sat for a while, and when I came home from work all I see is the Dell logo. I can get into the bios using F2, however I'm not sure what to look for as far as issues or settings.
Boot Mode is UEFI, I haven't heard of this before.
1st Boot Device: UEFI:Windows Boot Manager
That sound right?
