Fedora Core CD

I am attempting to install RH Linux on a Dell, Windows XP service pack 2 
laptop. I have downloaded several different versions of the ISO files and 
burned them to disk. The burn does expand the iso file into multiple files 
and directories on the resulting CD. I used the boot ISO from disk one to 
generate a boot CD for my computer. I booted the computer and indicated I 
wanted to install, answered the questions about the language and keyboard, 
then was prompted to locate the Fedora Core CD. No matter which of the 
disks I place in the drive, they all receive the following:

The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert 
the Fedora Core CD and press OK to retry.

As I indicated earlier, I have downloaded several different versions of the 
installer ISOs with exactly the same result. I am unable to continue with 
the installation.

What am I doing wrong? Is there other another download ISO to get? I am 
following the installation guide found on the installation page at RH, it 
indicates that I download the x86 32 bit files (4 total). The computer 
boots into the installation program as suggested by the guide, but is 
unable to recognize any of the other disks as containing the Fedora Core.

Thank you,
Craig
