Under Windows, check that CD1 "works" as a data CD - you should be able
to see files on it. If you can't, you have either downloaded the ISO
image incorrectly (you need to use binary mode), or the burn didn't
work.

Try booting from it.

If that doesn't work, back to Windows, and make some boot floppies and
try those. Some old machines are unable to boot from "El Torito" (?)
CDs. You should find instructions on how to make the floppies in a file
called INSTALL.TXT (I think that's the one, I don't have a boot CD
handy) on the CD.
