Windows 8 install DVD - Corrupt or missing files

I am getting a generic error (corrupt or missing files) when installing windows 8 pro 64 bit OEM. The computer was just built and has no OS. I have tried installing using several different optical dives, USB, SATA and the install errors at 6% every time. I tried making an ISO of the DVD but i could not copy the install.wim, in addition nero could not either. I have tried on several computers to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try the following and see if it works:

I do not have a previous version of windows installed so this really doesn't apply. Thanks.

Hi,

 

If you have already tested the disc on different computers then it is possible the disc is damaged. You may contact the retailer where you purchased the disc for a replacement.

 

Hope the information helps.
