I want to install Fedora-17-x86_64 alongside windows 8 pro wmc from usb, but it doesn't load while booting, I used “Live usb creator” and “LiLi” to install fedora from USB, while booting in BIOS I changed the booting priority to the USB but again it normally goes to windows start up. [I did these with win 7, there was successfully installed] [And also I don’t use VMware and VBOX] Any solution for this??

As much as I can remember Fedora 17 had a bug when I installed too. It did not install bootloader on MBR after the completion of setup. I think you should boot with your USB drive again with Fedora Live and install the boot loader manually. If your hard disk is /dev/sda then command shall be,

/sbin/grub2-install /dev/sda

Use

fdisk -l

to find out available disks with your system.
