There are at least two ways that a PC can boot from CD. One is to emulate a floppy. The other is a no emulate mode. It is possible that your PC does not support the boot mode used by the Fedora Live CD. I haven't encountered a CD bootable machine that did not support the emulated mode. I have seen one or two that did not boot in the non-emulate mode. Is there a non-live Fedora install cd? Can you dig up a newer bios image for your hardware? You might be able to use Smart Boot Manager. I have never tried it. (I only just found it.)
