  (1) Existing Quantal install was visible and bootable
  (2) Raring installer hangs on Plymouth right after the mouse's arrow appears
  (3) Installation completes correctly but cannot be rebooted

  In order to confirm that USB key visibility was not a hardware issue, I
  created a Win8 recovery USB key which is correctly seen by the laptop
  and can be booted from. An image of the key can be  made available.
  
  FInally, the laptop is an Ubuntu certified laptop (pre-load only) :
