I see this problem has been been discussed but no solutions have worked here.

I am installing the Windows 8 upgrage on a windows 7 professional 64 machine.

The upgrade assistant noted the DVD and Secure boot issues that I believe are common incompatibilities.

I ordered the $39.99 upgrade and tried to install and it fails out at 32%

Never asks for product key.

I have chkdsk/r/f, turned off Avast, backed up with no success.

Of course MS is not taking calls over the weekend for this little problem, so i remain frustrated and a little disappointed.

I expect they will make good but until then, any suggestions?

I' got the same problem (80% in my case) Too bad the installer doesn't tell you more. I solved this problem by copying the whole DVD on the hard drive and running the installer from there. Looks like it has a problem installing off a DVD. ... Just to face other problems down the road but at least I could get past this one. LOL

Healthy DVD and correct burning of setup files is the deal... which, theog has already given instructions, if not done properly, they interrupt you around 32%, 72% and many other places......... happened to one of my friend.
