Are you able to read the CD normally under Windows? If not, it may simply
be a bad burn.  You can verify this with the checksum if you grabbed that
along with the ISO.

If the CD appears to be good try launching the install with floppies, the
images are on the CD and instructions on copying them to floppy are in
INSTALL.TXT/INSTALL/HTM.

Cheers,

Viktor
