Can anyone help how to properly burn downloaded Fedora files.

I’ve download 4 files of Fedora and burned on CDs.
The following files are in disk 1.

Name Size Type

Fedora File Folder
Images File Folder
Isolinux File Folder
.discinfo 1kb DISCINFO File
autorun 1kb File
eula 6kb Tex Document
GPL 18kb file
README 6kb file
README-ACCESSIBILITY 13kb file
Release-Notes 51kb file
RPM-GPG-KEY 2kb file
RPM-GPG-KEY-beta 2kb file
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora 2kb file
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide 2kb file
RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test 2kb file
RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide 2kb file
TRANS.TBL 4kb TBL file

The files were burned on a CD exactly same.
But the computer don't even boot from the cd although the computer is set up as first boot from CD-Rom.
My assumption is that the files have to be burned differently than I normally burn in Windows. If anyone have an idea how to make bootable Linux CDs from the downloaded files in Windows environment, please let me know.

You do not burn the ISO to a CD - you burn the image of the ISO to the CD.
Look here http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO

Thanks for the info.
I've tried to burn the image of the ISO as the website explains.
However, none of them works.
I downloaded 4 Fedora files. All of them came with RAR format.
I simply excuted them and the disk one extracted as above.
Then I used Nero to burn the image from "isolinux" in the isolinux folder.
Nero didn't work. Do you have any suggestions?

What speed are you burning the images at?

Try slowing the burn rate down to 8x or below as higher rates can lead to faulty discs

Where did you get the files. They should just come as an ISO file extension, not a RAR extension. Nero can burn ISO files as an image.

I cook all my data files as fast as the drive will do them, anywhere from 32x to 52x, depending on the media. I haven't had any issues with reading them.

Here are instructions for burning iso images to CD with Nero:
http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/neroburning.html
Get your iso files from a good mirror like here:
ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fe...re/4/i386/iso/
These are the files you need. The rescuecd is optional.
File: FC4-i386-disc1.iso
File: FC4-i386-disc2.iso
File: FC4-i386-disc3.iso
File: FC4-i386-disc4.iso
File: FC4-i386-rescuecd.iso
