Try the USB install, or try a different USB DVD drive. Lots of people have this issue with their drives. You might also want to try booting the Type11 CD, then turning off your DVD drive and back on again, and then trying to boot the retail DVD.

Well I tried another DVD drive and power off nothing seems to work. I am unsure if I am doing it correctly. I see a screen that allows me to choose retail DVD. I have 7 seconds to choose. Do I choose it then put in retail dvd? Do I put in retail DVD then choose?

The problem was the newest iso 7.8 I reverted to an older iso 6 and works.
