I had the same issue and another error (0x803000001) did you have any other drives connected (like the storage module?)
I switched where my USB-a port was AND pulled all the other modules out, it got past that error (then I got the next error but that was due to me leaving it on the product key page for too long)
I did also have to try multiple drives created with the Windows media installer. No idea why it had such a hard time.
