I have the same problem with an inspiron 13z that does not boot.
If I have a USB drive inserted then entering to 'add boot option' pops up a window (otherwise without USB drive i get a warning: no file system). In the window one needs to specify the 'boot option name' and 'file name'. There is also a 'file system list' which says
pciroot/PCI/USB/HD with some hexa addresses after each. This list cannot be edited or modified. So what should I enter for the file name?

Change the option Legacy to UEFI and show two options
Add boot option and delete boot option.
Add HD boot and CD boot.
These models with windows 8 are configured to boot on network when UEFI is selected. just add optin to HD and CD and solve this problem

Nothing worked except replacing the motherboard in my Inspiron 13z. Now, it is booting and working fine so far.
