You didn't give us much information to go on. Are you trying to upgrade an existing Redhat system? Are you trying to install Fedora over MSWindows?
If it is an upgrade, you should consider a fresh install. But to just upgrade, insert disc 1 and reboot the system. It will prompt you. (Your system needs to be able to boot from a CD, if not you will need to create a boot floppy.)
If this is an MSWindows system, you can also just insert disc 1 and follow the prompts and Fedora will reformat your HD giving you a fresh install.
You best bet is to give us a better explanation of what you are trying to accomplish.

You need to boot from that cdrom.

Put the CD in the drive again. When the window opens, read the file README. Note that it mentions a web site and gives some quick installation-related suggestions. Then head to the web site. There you will find help for installing Fedora Core. Be sure to read the file RELEASE-NOTES.html as well. Read from the start and finish at the end of the file.
Your best bet with installing any Linux distro is to read the documentation first.

Have you considered booting the PC w/ the cd ? Do you want to wipe out whatever you currently have on the said Pc or do you wish to have 2 OS Maybe you should do a bit of research before posting http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Installation http://codingstyle.com/projects/linux-admin/ T
