fedora install help

hey guys,

i just downloaded the 3 images needed to install fedora. The problem i am having is the first install images arent asking to be boot off of. For example my computer basically says "press any key to boot off this cd" when it boots up with a bootable cd. I followed all the directions for the project with no success. my computer definitly works with bootable cd's. I created 4 different cd's with 3 different types of buring. Using
1. Roxio.
2.Naut. Burner
3.Roast
4.Gtoaster.

Can anyone give me any help in installing this version. I would really appreaite it. Thanx for the help guys.

You need to burn the iso's as image files instead of a bootable data cd

when you burn the iso, and you are still in windows, when you try to see what is on your CD through my computer, do you just see one file, or do you see many folders with files?

that means you burned the iso onto the disk, not the iso as a disk. In nero burning rom close any of the wizard crap, go to file -> Burn Image -> select ISO from file types, surf your PC to where the ISO is and click on it and push ok, push Burn or whatever the rest of the menus tell you to do.

edit - also make sure that you finalize the CD
