When you insert the Fedora #1 CD into the drive while windoze is running,
what does the contents of that CD look like? Is it one file (the ISO) or
does it contain several files and directories? If just one, you didn't
burn it right (should burn it as "CD image").

If it looks right, you could try making boot floppy(ies) and see if that
works for you.
