That's the problem - you wrote the ISO image to cd as a single file. That's not what an ISO is for. It's actually a block by block image of a complete CD.
What you need to do is use your burning software to write the image to CD. Once you do this the CD should have the following files on it:
autorun README-Accessibility RPM-GPG-KEY-beta eula.txt README-en RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora Fedora README-en.html RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide GPL RELEASE-NOTES-en RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test images RELEASE-NOTES-en.html RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide isolinux RPM-GPG-KEY TRANS.TBL
What CD burning software are you using? If you have Nero (I recommend it highly for Windows users - ftp://ftp.us.nero.com/nero63117.exe), open up Nero Express. Choose "Disc Image or Saved Project". Navigate to the location in which the ISO images on your hard drive are stored. You'll have to change the very bottom drop-down menu titled "Files of Type:" to "Image Files (*.nrg, *.iso, *.cue)" and then you'll see the ISO images. Highlight the first ISO image and click "Open." You should now see the ISO image and the drive to which you want to write it. Click "Next." You'll watch the image burn to disk and then get a message that the burn process completed successfully.
Lather, rinse, and repeat for disks 2-4.

No joy in mudville. Still had the files downloaded by bit torrent and I burned a new disk 1 using ISO and the orginial file. Still does not work and I get the same error message.
So did you verify in the bios that the CDrom is configured as a boot device and listed ahead of the harddisk drive?

I think the problem has been found. I burned them as data so I will burn them as ISO files and let you know how it turns out. Knew it had to be something I done.
Thanks everyone.....

Totally new to Linux and am trying to install Fedora on a computer
with
a blank HDD. I put disk one in the CD and changed the boot order putting the CD Rom first.
The following error message is displayed after the CD appears to be
checked.
Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selectefd boot device.
The CD passed the checksum so I am assuming that it is OK but don't
have a clue where to go now. I know something is wrong but what.
Help would be more than appreciated.
Thanks
Welcome aboard!
Most likely you need to configure your bios to boot from the CDrom drive.
The next most likely problem is that when you burned the CDs you did
not
burn them as images. In you CD burner software there should be an option to burn the CD as an iso or image, then select the iso file you downloaded. This will burn a bootable CD. If you just burned the iso as data to the CD that will not work.
My money is on the bios settings.
