I have the Windows 8 32-bit ISO which fails to install when booted from a USB flash drive. It copies the files, the boot loader installs, but the install hangs when I boot into Windows 8 for the first time--it simply keeps on spinning forever.

The Windows 8 Release Preview does not work either. I did a VHD install of Windows 8 Developer Preview and it installed fine.

Looking at the partition from Windows 7, I can see that the files are present. What could be the problem?
