WinPE running from a FAT32 HDD unable to install Windows 8 via the setup.exe

I created a WinPE 4.0 image on a disk. This disk  image onto a physical HDD via Clonezilla and the machine then boots up into WinPE 4.0 running from the hard drive instead of the RAM Disk.

I have windows setup files located on a network share, which I map from within the WinPE. However when I try to run the Windows Setup.exe, the Windows installer throws up the following error in a message box:

Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.

The installation sources are 100% valid. Another interesting observation is when WinPE is running from memory (RAMDisk) then using the above steps Windows installs fine.

Any clue?
