I suppose it is FC2, so the discs (why just three - but you might 
survive it with three) should have the name FC2-i386-disc1.iso etc. and 
you have burnt the with the "iso"-function (whatever it is called in 
Nero or so under Windows) and not just copied it.

Change your bootorder in the BIOS so that you can boot from the CD-ROM, 
consider that you need free space on your harddisk (really free, at 
least one free partition, Fedora will do the rest for you if you want), 
put Disc1 into your CD-ROM, reboot and off you go. The bootroutine 
"Anaconda" will tell you the rest. Just take care: if you intend to run 
a dual-boot, do not have the windows-partitions erased!
