EDIT: @Originality, i also tried installing it from the hard drive. i extracted the files from the iso.
Whilst a method to upgrade (both custom and in-place upgrades) from the HDD does exist, it requires a specially prepared exe file to work (it's not the same as sticking the files from the DVD on the HDD and running it). Naturally, the copy that I have can't really be shared out because it's tied to my student license.Narayan said:hmm, i'll go buy a disc tomorrow or another day, if i can go out. or just buy a pirated copy instead. but i'll still wait if anyone has a suggestion.

(I mean reboot the PC and let it boot from the stick)
my 4gb usb is broken, the only flash disk available is 2gb.
but i bookmarked it if i can borrow one.
It could be a bad ISO. I suggest re-downloading a different one.Originality said:Whilst a method to upgrade (both custom and in-place upgrades) from the HDD does exist, it requires a specially prepared exe file to work (it's not the same as sticking the files from the DVD on the HDD and running it).
