Not able to start installation


I downloaded redhat iso images to 3 cd's. I created a boot disk. Now I boot from the disk and ask the loader to load from the loacl cd-rom. The next screen says I don't have the linux cd's in the cd-rom.
I know i'm missing something here, can somebody please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

(Sys Config: XP prof; 40GB Hard Drive; Now added a new Hard drive and formated in windows so its NTFS right now; thougt I will take care of it later during Linux installation.)

Look at your freshly burned CDs in your MSWin box. If you just see a file called something.iso, then you did not burn the CD correctly. If you are not sure how to burn a .iso file with your MSWin CD burner software, then your best bet would be to purchase CDs. A good place to start looking for cheap CDs is http://www.distrowatch.com/
