So I have a PC and I bought a Windows 8 disk and license, like the ones in the envelope with the code on a sticker. It's always worked whenever I want to re-install windows and its just been as simple as to boot from the disk and format the drive, then install.
The problem now is that I have just tried to install by doing the same and so the drive is formatted but it gets stuck at 55-56%. I googled this to check and people said just wait but now after waiting it gives an error code which means that part of the disk is corrupt. Obviously this means I can't install from this now so I tried to get an ISO burned onto another clean disk I have lying around but when I try to active my product key it won't accept it and so I can't get to the menu to burn it onto the disk.
I don''t really know what to do and I really don't want to have to buy a new key so can someone help me find a way to get my key to work. I don't know whether it's because it's already been
used or just not playing along but any advice woulld be appreciated.
Thanks
