Fedora Core CD not found

Everyone,

I am trying to create a fresh install FC4 system on an E-Machine 500
with a 40gig hard drive and 256M of memory.  I just finished an
installation on a different E-machine with the same set up and the
installation was without incident.

On the affected machine I can put in the FC4 Disc #1 and boot to it
without difficulty, but the process fails on the 3rd question pertaining
to installation method.  When I pick CDROM as the method there is a
pause and then an error message telling me that "The Fedora Core CD was
not found in any CDROM drives".  

I had previously performed media checks on the FC4 discs and all passed.
I have done a memtest86 on the memory and it passed as well.

If any of you can give me a suggestion as to what to do next I would
appreciate your help.  I have not tried to install an FC over the
network, but that may be the next best thing to do.  I'll wait a little
to see what suggestions you all might have.

Thanks,

Greg
