I had a simular issue and found any micro sd card under 16gb didn't work. There was no information anywhere that said this. Once I used a 16gb it ran like i thought it would. You could give that a try.

Good luck

I'm using 8gb Kingston Micro SD cards on my Raspberry Pi Model B+'s and they are working just fine.

anoopmishra Did the package advertise that the SD Card came setup?

I don't think the B+ comes with a BOOT disk. You'll have to compile one yourself.
All the software is ALSO available on-line, too. I prefer Raspberian.

Well the Pi Genernally doesn't include a SD card but places like Farnell do offer pre-installed SD cards.

As for the image, the Model B+ runs just like the B/A models. so once the card is imaged there is a BOOT partition on the SD card as this is what the SoC loads the kernel from.
