Load up when? What are you talking about?
Can you please give us something to work with here? Anything? A detail here or there would be great. Something like "When I boot the system, instead of a graphical login I get..."

Is this English? Are you saying you don't have the disks? Then, yes, you need to download them.
FC4-I386-disc1.iso FC4-I386-disc2.iso FC4-I386-disc3.iso FC4-I386-disc4.iso FC4-I386-rescuecd.iso

You don't really need the rescuecd image, you can use disc1 as a rescue CD, just type "linux text rescue" at the syslinux boot prompt.
Seriously, man, please use complete sentences and punctuation. It is really hard to figure out what you are asking.

OK, so what *does* it do? You really, really need to include some details here. "It won't boot" tells us essentially nothing.
Does it hang? Is there an error message? If so, what?
Have you tried any trouble-shooting steps? If so, what? What was the result?
Would you take a car to a mechanic and say "it isn't working" and expect him to be able to help? Or would you say something like "when I make a left turn I hear a squeaking noise" instead? Details are very helpful when trouble-shooting.
Try rebooting, and when you get to the very first Linux screen (should be a menu of boot options), press "a" to edit the kernel line. Use your backspace key to erase the words "rhgb quiet" and add the number 3 to the kernel line so it looks something like this:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL ro root=/dev/hda2 3
This will boot to runlevel 3, which doesn't activate the X server. Log in as root and then run the command
system-config-display --reconfig
This will allow you to set up your X server. I suspect that when Acer set up your machine, they had it hooked up to a monitor which is capable of a higher refresh rate or resolution than yours.

This is getting past ridiculous and into the sublime I think, when the problem might be fixed by booting to runlevel 3, and cd'ing to /var/locks, and cleaning out the x related lockfiles. Its worth a look anyway, and far more educational than trying to make sense out of shorthanded english when we don't know the shorthand version. After that, any other problems should be readily evident in the logs.
