Which version of Windows did you get? If you got the 64-bit, you cannot format the HDD as FAT32 and then install it. It has to be ExFAT. I am pretty sure that you wiped out the partition when you went into Disk Utility.
After you created the USB installation drive in Mac, did you select the right partition to be created? How you should allocate the space depends on how much space you want for your Windows system and how much space you want for your OS X system.

It is finicky to a certain degree but if you follow the steps, it should work out fine.
Let me know if you are still facing issues.
Yes I got the 64 bit. The USB flash drive was in FAT32, and when the windows installation started, it asked which partition to select and I formatted it as NTFS. I'm not sure I remember seeing an ExFAT option, though.
Should the USB drive be in ExFAT as well as the HDD partition?
I think I skipped the ISO making step. I just downloaded the DVD files onto the USB drive, but did not make the ISO. Now I am making the ISO.
Thanks for the links, though. I'll try to follow them...
