After fighting with this all week I found a bios update http://www.driversguru.com/driverdetail/2154857-A8AE-LE+Motherboard+BIOS+Update after I installed the update the computer would boot from the 14.04 Live CD and it installed without a problem. It also will now boot from the live USB. Hopefully this will help if anyone else is trying to put their old xp computer to better use.
