Problems booting Fedora Core 2

Right now im running Win98 on my system with two hard drives (both 20 gig one of them is empty and im planning on using fedora core 2 on it) but for some reason my motherboard wont recogninze my Cd-Rom drive...but when i log onto Win98 it says its fine and it runs, so that means it wont boot the off of the fedora core 2 disk. Since using a floppy is out of the question since the Diskboot.img is 6mb and it wont work on usb (it said i had to use drive A or B) im left with nothing to do. Im seeing if there is any other way to fix this other then going into the case and fixing it that way..since i have a mini it becomes extremely frustrating.

Thanks

Sorry, that was not obvious. Try Tom's root boot.
