RHEL 4 installation question

I need to install RHEL 4 AS on a pc from scratch. Right now this pc is
running windows.
I want to completely wipe out the hard disk and install RHEL 4. Do I
need to reformat the hard drive first?

Nope, the install process will do this for you.

Hai

If you want both windows/linux then first make Fdisk partitions for
windows/linux dual boot then do Linux partitions creation and linux
installation.

I changed the boot sequence for the pc by going into BIOS setting to
boot from CD-ROM.
I put RHEL disk1 in the cd drive. After switching pc off and on, it
went to memory test. After that it gave a prompt
Boot from CD :

I pressed entered several times. It was trying to read from the cd and
nothing was happening. After some minutes, it started windows 2000.

Please help in this.
Thanks

While you're in Windows, open the CD. What do you see?
