Windows 8 installation is not completing!!

Hi Rahul,

Welcome to Dell Community Forum.

Please run the Windows 8 Upgrade Checklist prior to attempting to install Windows 8 on your computer. This will check your system thoroughly for compatibility issues. The Windows 8 Upgrade Checklist article discusses the critical steps that you should take before and after Windows 8 upgrade, such as backing up data, updating drivers prior to upgrade, and verifying that the system supports an upgrade to Windows 8.

You can access the same by clicking on the link below:

Please try to boot the computer in safe mode and disable any start-up items. It may be possible that there is an incompatible program which may need to be removed from start-up items. The Microsoft link below has steps for booting to Windows in Safe mode.

Make sure you did not format the drive before booting to the win 8 disk or starting the installation. All the win 8 disks are upgrades and you must have windows 7 installed on the drive to update.
