Gateway M500 won't install off FC1 CD

[Matt Wette]

I am currently running RH9.  I downloaded the Fedora ISOs and
burned CDs.  I was able to boot off the FC1 disk 1 CD but the
install program froze on the first screen (asking whether to check the
CD).  

I ran into this exact problem when installing RH9 from CDs that
someone burned for me.  When I went to the store and bought RH9
CDs (in the red box) everything worked fine. 

Anyone know what the problem is here?
