Hey all
Tearing my hair out with my 32bit W7 to W8 pro upgrade here.. . Setup gets to 24% and then bombs out with "Windows 8 installation has failed". The logs say..

Some of the things I have tried already:
I have also done a repair install of W7.
To think after all this time I may have well done a clean install.. but alas. I still would like to upgrade this system, I cant see why it wouldnt work.
However, I am completely stumped - the log files dont seem to give me enough information about what the issue actually is. Setup cant read the snapshot data, however VSSADMIN can read the data perfectly fine so am not sure what W8 is talking about
Just wondered if any experts on here might have any ideas?

Some of the things I have tried already:
- SFC /scannow
- Chkdsk C: /f /r
- Deleted all volume shadow copies
- Made sure VSS and all associated services are running
- VSSADMIN says all the writers are working ok
- No errors in the event log
I have also done a repair install of W7.
