I have windows 8.1 and I dont know what else to do. What can I do to fix this so I can continue the next few steps.

Bonus: Someone told me that it might be an issue with my usb drive i tried updating them all and they were all already updated here was the result when i loaded disk management I dont know what it means.

You have to have your USB plugged in so Rufus can detect it before you do anything else.

Try downloading "Bootice", it should recognize most USB's regardless of their current state. Click on the one you want to use with Rufus, and then click "Parts Manage". On that screen, click "Format This Part" on the bottom left. After it's confirmed formatted, Rufus should have no issues recognizing the usb.
