I got it working!! you may close this thread if need be or leave it open for everyone to see if this can help them anyways.....
i feel really dumb but live and learn right anyways so i extracted the iso from the gz file using 7zip which i did not read up on stupid of me anyways i used winflash tool and burned the img on to my sd card and it corresponded took the retropie and finished :)
still does not explain why at first it would not take my sd card when i flashed it and put NOOB on it as i was not burning on to the sd because it states it does not require a burn but anyways :D
