Now i know this sounds stupid but surely you cant install it to the same USB drive as you are installing from??

Is there a question in there somewhere?
-
sure is a question, i was typing away and hit post before i finished. its probably a silly question but it is new years day :P

It only shows you that single disk da0? No others?
How large is the drive you are trying to install to? What kind of drive is it? What kind of controller? Whatever it is it looks like the installer cannot see it.
da0 looks like 8GB and is probably the booted USB memory stick.
