Problems Installing FC4 iso on Windows

[Craig Preston]

This may sound silly, but you have burnt the iso as an image onto the CD
and not just made a data CD that contains the ISO file?

Sometimes it takes time for the CD drive to spin up and meanwhile the
BIOS assumes there is no cd and proceeds to next device in the boot
order. If your BIOS provides option for disabling the boot devices (Mine
does - Shift+1) try disabling all devices other than the CD Drive from
the boot order. In my case the BIOS then tries repeatedly to boot from
CD Drive which succeeds after a while.
