You need to be sure you burned the CDs as ISOs and not as iso's on a datacd. and then you have to make sure your computer is set to boot from cdrom. Thirdly your cdrom/Motherboard needs to support ATAPI . If it is a P150 or lower you might have a problem with this. And if the cd is less than 8x you might have an issue with it. Otherwise it sounds like your PC tried to boot to a harddisk with no boot info in the mbr.

First, go search a prog that brun ISO files, like Nero, then, (the method with nero), start it, go in File --> Burn image, and go choose the ISO files number 1,...burn it,...do it for all the ISO files,.. Put the first cd in, reboot your system, and the installation should begin,...just read carefully and install it. Don't forget to let space on your hard drive, not partition...like 5gig...

I burnt the three images as ISO from my nero software. I have my bios set to boot from the DVD-ROM. But then it says no bootable media found or something like that. Very weird. I am going to try using my Redhat 7.0 which i know would boot and see what happens.
