installation doing on virtual or physical?
if it is virtual re create the VM and assign sufficient resources while creating VM.

if it is physical make sure your server firmware is up-to-date.

It's physical
Make sure firmware is up to date and Is installation happening through Lan or Local?

It had windows 2008 on it . due to a virus I am re-installing the latest firmware is from 2011. and the update isn't bootable.
Best suggestion is use Hiren boot , Boot up your server using Hiren boot CD and wipe out Infected drives in the server and reboot the server and start install windows server 2008 freshly

I am surprised you are allowed to recommend a  pirated boot disk like Hiren's for a solution on these forums...
FYI

Hiren's is not a pirated Boot disk
It sure used to be filled with unlicensed software
