That worked perfectly, thanks so much for the suggestion with 8.2 ISO.

Will try with the ISO and installation media. Thanks again for the patience. I'll keep posting.

The update is not showing in Windows store as before, i downloaded KB2917499 to fix that, but still not showing.

I will download those and post results back thanks. It was really annoying me this update problem, stuck at 0% i don't know if it's downloading and is just a graphical glitch or indeed is not downloading. I prefer to installed them myself.

I need to download to update Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, but it says i need all previous update first. Windows Update find this updates, but it stuck at download 0%. Is there a way to download all the updates prior to 8.1 into a single package?

Funny mine says 9 hours 31 up time and the boot is not good.

I have it enabled, but i don't see an improvement in boot speed and i remember that when i installed the beta the boot time was amazing, like 8 or 10 seconds. But the final version takes 20 seconds to 25, a time that i experienced before with Win 7, so is a strange issue with the final version...

I have problems with the hybrid boot and sadly this was the only thing that attracted me to Win 8. When i tried the beta last year the boot was outstanding, now with the final version the boot is almost similar to Windows 8.

Upgrade came with the same error, but now i did a clean install which involved deleting the partition and it worked, Installation went smooth and completed successfully. I was so lost working with it, but after disabling the Metro interface (i don't have touchscreen anyway) i tested it and...

I was installing it to one partition, the one with windows 7 because i have several system images of the laptop so i was not worry about formatting or wipe the drive. i'll download the iso again and try again. Could you post a reliable link with the downloads?

Tried outside Windows 7, same result. I will have to wait then for a later release, if any.

Yes, i meant CD\DVD. I downloaded it like 4 times and tried clean install and upgrade, but same problem and sadly the message don't specify what occurred

I tried everything to install Windows 8, from USB to the old optical drive, but at the end same results. At 30% of installation progress it stuck with an unspecified error.

Tried to create the windows 8 usb stick with the windows 7 usb dvd tool, but at 97% an error show up that it couldn't finish, but i don't understand because the size of the usb is 3.64 and the iso 3.63, can that be the problem?

I will follow your tip then and test, thanks for the great help as always, this is like a Windows encyclopedia. I'll post results later..
