[Win 8] Need help installing Windows 8 to new hard drive (with no USB/DVD)

Okay, to put simply: My CD/DVD drive died so I can't use that. Also, my motherboard seems to always freeze whenever I plug in any USB with bootable data, so I can't use any USB's as well. So I need to install Windows 8 to another hard drive, and I'm currently booted into my primary.

Just to clear this up in case:
I'm on my 1TB hard drive, booted up in Windows 8.
I bought a 2TB hard drive, and I want to install Windows 8 on that
USB's render my machine unbootable thanks to my crap motherboard
CD/DVD drive is broken

I have a legit key, but can anyone help me? I tried running the ISO while booted, but it wants to reinstall Windows 8 on my 1TB primary HDD, it won't let me choose the location.
