Make sure you acutally burned the ISO image , and didn't just copy it to the CD. This is necessary to create the tree structure on the CD
Also, I recently had a problem with CD 1 for RH 8.0. One file was missing, so the installation stopped. Thismay be caused by interrupting and resuming the download dfrom the FTP server. I'm not sure.
Maybe there are some problems with the images themselves.
Cheers

Try to download the images without interrupting the process

RH install runs an MD5sum check on the cd's themselves, this happens if you boot and do an install via a cd. Try running a manual md5 checksum on the cd's, where u downloaded the ISO's from will have the md5 values that should be returned check themagainst the cd's.
One way to get around this checking is to do a NFS install (how much do you know about linux?) then it doesnt run any checking and installs it no problems.
I had a similiar problem with Disk 2 not being reconised and after much reading found that above solution.
Hope that helps in some way(or at least gives you a clue :P)

Wehn I burned my ISO images. I used cheap no-name CD's. I used a better quality disk last night, and the installation went withou a hitch. This was an ISO image I had re-downloaded and then tried to install using a second no-name. Once I put it on abetter quality CD, it worked fine

If you are sure that the ISO(s) are burned to the CD(s) correctly... and you are NOT booting from the floppy boot disk...
Another possibility is check your computers BIOS settings to make sure that in the boot sequence section, the CD-ROM drive is before the hard drive.
example:
A: first
CD second
HD0 third
other (or none) fourth
