Can't boot on Dell dimension

I checked the archives and noted that several people have had this issue
with Dells

I downloaded Fedora Core 1 and burned to CD, but each time it gets an error
when it tries to start. I get this error:

error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic

Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait...
exec of anaconda failed: Bad adressinstall exited abnormally
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done

I tried burning 3 different CDs (2 different brands, including one at 4x)
and they all had exactly the same issue. The machine that the CD was burned
on is itentical to the one I'm trying to install on. I previously have been
able to run installs from Mandrake Linux, so I don't think it's a disc
issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve
