When it hangs that way, remove the dvd and reset. Once it starts booting
back into Windows Setup reinsert the dvd. A few systems behave this way. I
have one that did for several builds during the beta. When you reset you
should see the boot options screen briefly and Windows Setup will be one
entry. It should default to that entry until installation is complete when
it is removed.
