Is Windows 8 FAT32 or NTFS?
the differences are: Fat32 only allows files up to 4GB / NTFS allows files of all sizes. my suggestion is use NTFS so there is no issues installing the OS on to the flash media. You Need to eject the flash drive properly through the software or risk data corruption when using the NTFS file system.
