Not sure I understand what you are asking but if you have the files you downloaded to put Fedora on your pc you can burn them to cd again if you want to. If you are running Fedora but do not now have the files you can download them to your hard drive and then burn them as many times as you want.

The issue is that a collegue had those 4 CDs and then i copied them on to my HD into four different folders.
So this friend of mine askd me if i have a fedora i tell him yap. Then on ma PC i slot in disk 1 to start the burning. I successfully do that and then i change my boot settings to start the boot with CD but it doesnt seem to boot from the CD but goes ahead and boots as if the is no CD.
So my friend tels me that the only way to do such thing is from d/loading from the net. Is it that i copied wrongly or what coz ea. disk is on in a separate folder

You are taking the CD's data, but you need to burn the CD as an actual ISO file, a CD image file. To do that you have to take the ISO from the CD that your friend gave you(unless he gave you CD's with the ISO's already burned to them... Then you have to make an ISO or do a disk copy with something like Nero) and burn that to a CD as a CD image. Program like Nero.
