In reply to Jessen P's post on October 24, I am getting this same problem and I can't find a way around it. I tried uninstalling KB and re-installing it per the recommendation in this thread.

Thank you! I took a look at the "Understanding Failures and Log Files" link. My setuperr. My panther directory has no files in it. There is one folder, "UnattendGC", but that has nothing in it either.
Is that why this is failing? If so, how do you fix that? I'll look into the error code further. Also, I checked my system reserved partition. It is set to MB. Here is a snapshot:. Honestly though, it shouldn't be this hard to install an upgrade. Windows should be easy to use and easy to upgrade. Just my two cents Bit Locker must be disabled to install win 8.
Reenable after the install. In reply to mlg63's post on November 4, Hi Mary,. I re-tried this just a little while ago. Here are the errors in CBS. This site in other languages x.
