I burned ISO to DVD and tried again. Still fails at 20% during install. Trying to avoid clean install, too much to reinstall.
I have Windows 7 Home Edtion.
should I unplug my 3 external drives first?

W8 often fails to install off the DVD. I solved this problem by copying the whole thing to the HDD and launched the installer from there.
