Every time I try to install Windows 10 through the Media tool I always stop at 73%. I tried to do it on a Clean Boot and it was the same. I also tried to remove the "read-only" and "system" attributes on the "$WINDOWS.~BT", but it doesn't let me change the "Read-Only" attribute on a file called boot.sdi and I don't know how to remove the "System" attribute.

I tried to upgrade Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 for a week before finding this thread.
Thanks to the advice here...after the installation files downloaded, when the "Creating Windows 10 Media" screen popped up, I unplugged the internet cord.
After primary installation, a screen popped up that said working on updates. Then I plugged my internet back in to let these updates download.
Yay! It worked. :-)
I was getting the error at 73 percent. I was able to install by disconnecting from the internet so the installation could not up date. Installed just fine after that.
Thank you. That is an interesting observation.
Worked perfectly, thank you so much for the suggestion.
I tried disconnected my internet at the point when the blue screen comes on for install.but it failed again next's time I'll try stopping my antivirus program altogether.
