Upgrading From Windows 7 To Windows 8 install error

[Beelo]

i got a windows 8 and i did burn the files on a DVD ( booted ) so when the installation started after the "Copying windows files" action appears the "getting files ready for installation" it stops at 72% everytime i do it again. I tried to remove 1 of the ram stacks that i have ( i had 2 gb ram with 2 sticks so i removed one of those two ) and it didnt work so i tried to retry the installation many times like 4 or 5 times and it always stops at 72% and shows me the error "windows cannot install required files. the file may be corrupt or missing make sure all files required for installation are available" i dont remember the error code. i stayed all the day trying to resolve this problem like 6 - 7 hours but still got no working solution... please can you help me?
