    Hey Everybody,

    Just thought I should let you know that I managed to get it to work. I downloaded the ISO version and then installed from my desktop. Don't exactly know why it worked, must have been a connection issue but w/e. 

    Very frustrating process

    Indeed... how did you get the iso? Inquiring minds would like to know....

    All Windows 8 updates must be installed or the 8.1 will not.
