Remove all external peripherals, except Keyboard and Mouse (or Trackpad), run SMC and NVRAM Reset and try to install Windows, using BC Assistant. Connect a USB2 Flash drive, if prompted by BC Assistant.

Disconnect everything USB except the keyboard and mouse. Also, try turning off wifi and bluetooth.

I figured it out.... Had to unplug my usb hub (even though there were no attached drives on the hub). Once I did that it worked!

If I turn off blue tooth, the mouse will not work and actually the computer will not let me turn off blue tooth.
