I am attempting to install the dev preview onto a spare hdd to dual boot between Win 7 and 8.
I have used the windows store tool to write the iso to a usb drive. I am happy that this is correct (a colleague has used the drive and installed successfully on a different computer).
So far though when I try to install on my computer, it begins loading from the usb drive and I see the "Loading Files" screen and then the Windows Developer Preview screen (with the spinning loading icon at the bottom of the screen).
This is where it appears to be going wrong. The spinning loading icon carries on spinning, but it doesn't go any further than this screen. I watched my colleague install on his computer and this screen was only displayed for a few seconds before going to the installation interface - so far I have left mine installing for 2 hours with no change from that screen.
Has anyone else come across this problem and found a solution for it?
Thanks!!
