So i took a iso version of my windows xp home edition and i used that instead of a Host Disk drive. So i was installing the OS and it said it was going to reboot, it did, but it restarted the installation again. Any ideas why?

Yes, because the cd is in the drive. Change boot order to "harddisc, cd" in the vbox guest settings. Then the fresh installed os starts first.

The same thing happens on a physical machine if you leave the disk in the drive and it is set to boot from the CD/DVD.
