I've had the same problem.  I have made two copies of CD's for Fedora 
Core 1 and have used both to install on other machines. The CD's are 
fine... however, on one machine, when I start the installation process, 
it happens just like described above,

1. I boot from the CD rom and begin installation

2. From the prompt, selected Local Cdrom as location of core media.

3. Fedora Core CD was not found in any cdrom drives. Please insert the 
Fedora Core CD and press OK.

In otherwords, on BOOT the CD ROM is recognized, but when Anaconda is 
running, it is not recognized.

Any suggestions?
