Additionally, I would make sure the drive is formatted with FAT32 or NTFS.
You may want to try a boot disk with fdisk and see if there are any non-windows paritions on it, and if so delete them (note: data will be lost when you do this, btut it sounds like you are installing clean anyway).

Ok pride swallowing time:
#1 my first problem was the drive wasn't set to "active"
#2 my second problem not pulling out the cd when the op system asked for a restart.
"note to self when running a fever of 100f don't start to build a pc system"
Again thanks to everyone who helped!
