freeze

I have the windows 8 release preview 32 bit iso and it fails to install when booted out of a flash drive, it copies the files and the boot loader installs but the install hangs when I boot into Windows 8 the first time, it simply keeps on spinning forever.

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.
