2. Check /etc/hosts and /private/etc/hosts file in OS X Terminal and verify that there are no entries for apple.com in either of these two files.
3. If your Mac allows the creation of USB installer, and you have a physical DVD of Windows, please ensure that you use Create an ISO image for Boot Camp from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support to create the ISO.
4. Remove any external peripherals and hubs when creating the USB installer, to avoid confusing BCA. The USB should be directly attached to the Mac.

I discovered that "FileVault" was turned on and interfering with the file copy since the hard drive is encrypted. Simply go into security settings and turn off "FileVault" !
Hope that helps,
Cheers.
