Starting up the partitioner - Scanning disks

[mmmmm]

Hi,

I'm running Kali from an USB drive. Whenever I install Kali (from boot or from live mode) the installation hangs at 'Starting up the partitioner - Scanning disks 50%'. This is caused by the USB drive being present during this part of the installation process. As suggested in other threads I found Googling this problem, I tried removing the USB drive before the partitioning process and that works but the installation than hangs in a later part because I had removed the USB drive. I also tried disabling AHCI in my bios but no luck either.
This is a uITX case so I have no room for a dvd drive and can't boot from dvd.

Any suggestions to get my partitioning process working?

Thanks

I run install from USB and had no problems. I am using Easy2Boot. Installed and tested few distros - never fail. No need to burn a cd or dvd.

I tried to different Linux live usb creators (LiLi and Universal Usb Installer) and both end up with the same result. Easy2boot seems a bit devious since you also need aditional software besides Easy2boot to make it work but I might try it out.
If you look at the searchengines, there are a lot of people having the same issue:

Got it working with Win32 Disk Imager
