Is this an original disk of Windows 8 or a burned copy? I have had problems with burned copies from ISOs that were burned at anything higher than 2x speed.
GREAT NEWS! It for some reason worked. I think there was a method to the maddness and by booting and clicking certain things in a certain way I was slowly able to get farther and farther. Took about 8 hours to get that method down though lol. Thank you so much for your help, it kept me very focussed when I could have been flipping out / setting my self even farther behind. Just finished installing all those drivers and software. Free anti-virus woohoo.

I just resolved the problem but thank you for the suggestion. However it was an original straight from Newegg.
