Hey chrismeister!
Welcome to PC Helpforum!

After you have formatted the disk, and some files are copied to it, the installation restarts the computer.
You should not boot from CD anymore then, simply set your BIOS to boot from harddisk.
Once it boots from harddisk, it will continue the installation.
