those are errors reading the cdrom or dvd. You'll need a new copy of the disk or a different drive to read the disk in, if the problem is just that drive.

Was this message after the option to check media? I suspect it was. If so, did you check the media?

If it already has an operating system installed, and you have access to the internet, you can use unetbootin to do an easy net-installation:

did you by chance save the 4.1 gig dvd iso ( before you burned it to dvd) on a fat32 partition/formated drive
Also fedora 9 and OLD hardware do not get along to well , there will be some install and running problems
see if the fedora9live cd will boot and run
