Edit: I think I got fastboot working on the pc end, but when i run "fastbook oem unlock" it just says waiting for devices.
Waiting for devices means it isn't seeing the phone. Did you install the drivers from Motorola properly?

Unplug phone from computer, install drivers on PC from link above, plug phone back in, and wait until Windows has finished updating the drivers.

Also, make sure you are using a USB port on the back of your PC, as this can make a difference.

No installed some moto device manager/helper garbage, as instructed in a different post. I'll try this. Thanks.
EDIT that is what I installed i think :/

Also it fails to flash the sbf file i believe, it gets to 98 percent and then says it failed.
Ok so I got the bootloader to unlock. THANK GOD. Now I need to get cwm, up and running... My heart almost stopped 10 times while doing this...
Thanks for the help. Although that wasn't the problem.

My best suggestion is to follow all of the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 It sounds like you probably have the first part done, so go with the "Proper Recovery" section once you're sure you have the prerequisites.
