 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).

Boy did you come in late.  He fixed his problem.

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!
