I experienced the same thing and solved it.


In my case the problem was a corrupt mountain lion install dmg file downloaded from the app store. This specific installer corruption issue was experienced by thousands of users who downloaded ML from th MAS during a specific time period. The problem was exactly what you describe and the solution was to delete the copy of mountian lion, re-download it from the app store, and install. By the way, all my data was perfectly intact once i installed a good version of ML.


I mention this because it is a whole lot easier that torching your drive or any of the other crazy things people told me to do when trouble shooting the problem. I'm glad i started with the basic stuff first. You need to be able to get to the app store to redownload it. You can create a useraccount on any mac and login with your apple id to download it. If you don't have another mac then a trip tot he apple store for a usb might be an option.
