No, if you have a 32bit machine, you'll want to download the i386 versions, not the srpms. Sorry, but those are for people who want to create a custom version of Fedora (source files). You'll also want to burn the files as 'images' not just copy them. And, make sure you've partitioned your hard drive (after defragging) and backed up your Windows files prior to installation. If you need more help on any of that, please post back.

Are your BIOS setup to boot from a disk? You have to enable that before your system will notice the CD while it's booting.

Yes; As it says in the HowTo sometimes you must manually tell your computer to boot from the CD -- it also shows how to edit your BIOS.

Did you burn the disks as data (did you just put the ISO onto the CD and burn it) or burnt it as an image?
