I've confirmed that there isn't a problem with the installation USB drive. I successfully used the same drive to install Qubes on a different PC. I'm not sure why this PC isn't happy, but I know it has something to do with the PC itself. My guess is that there is something wrong with the configuration of the PC that is preventing zen from starting.
