Okay my brother is in the army and left his pc here with me to reinstall a copy of Win 7, When he left (Sadly to Afghanistan) i tried to reboot it with my win 7 disk in it. The power came on but it never came to an install screen. I didn't get splash screen or anything, Could you guys please help.

I believe so, but before he left he had a new hard drive installed. Could that make a difference?

Hm. It sounds like you have a problem with your BIOS. I had this problem quite recently. I had to go download an up-to-date BIOS for my system on a thumbdrive, and...

crap I can't really remember, but when I started it I think I had to hold alt and the power button or esc and the power button to make it install from thumbdrive.
