I don't know about others, but it is not clear to me what your friend did.

Did he transfer all the ISOs (CDs) to the folder fc4 on Windows disk D: ?
Then what did he do?

Also I didn't understand "I put the iso on d:\fc4 ,so I chose hda5".
How exactly did he choose hda5?

I'd suggest you ask your friend to say exactly what he did.
Or maybe someone else will understand better then me.
