WHS 2011: Worst Install Evar...

[wicked_chicken]

Basically, I've been trying to USB install WHS 2011 for hours now. After dealing with lots of "A required CD/DVD driver is missing errors", I got the system to boot into the new OS. However, I'm sitting at the "Preparing your Server Screen" and it's at 5%. An hour ago, it was at 4%.

I'm running a Asus E35M1-M Pro with 4G ram. The HDD is a Caviar Green. Is there some explaination to why this is taking forever?
