CD boot problem -

I have a collection of used parts built into what I want to be
an F-9 computer. I'm trying to boot from the Fedora 9 Live CD
but no matter how I set the bios setup it doesn't boot. The
CD drive is recognized, the light on the drive blinks while booting
but it keeps telling me to insert a system disk?
I have a 40G hard drive CS connected to primary master and the CD drive
connected to secondary master also set Cable Select with appropriate
cables [I believe].
Does this seem like a proper setup?
The motherboard is ASUS P4B533-E with a P-4 processor. The 40 gig hard
drive already has F9 on it but it had been set up on a failed motherboard
with an AMD µprocessor on it. So I am dead in the water until I can read
the CD.
Any help appreciated.
Bob
