if the forerunners were so advanced how come they could not beat the flood yet the unsc and the sepratist covies could?

The forunner treated the flood like it was not a theat, due to said technology. they waited too long, and paid the price. Humanity was the first race to succeed in defeating the flood, though at the cost of 1/3 of their population that was geneticly altered to destroy the flood after being infected.

And that was before Halo was ever fired.

Exactly, the one thing the forunner failed at, humanity succeeded in.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Just to add to what the rest of these guys said, the Flood could be considered to have been at the peak of its strength during the Forerunner-Flood war. Plus, they had Mendicant Bias on their side who coordinated all the battles against the Forerunners; he returned to the side of the Reclaimers 100,000 years later to ensure John succeeded.
