If anyone needs help let me know and I will bring my external DVD to class. For some reason I could not get the USB to install properly and once I used a DVD it worked fine. If anyone else had this problem and needs help let me know.

To install Windows 8 if you do not have an external drive, all you have to do is download a virtual drive, and run the ISO disk from the virtual drive.

Once you complete installation, delete the virtual drive if you wish.
