I had a similar problem. I downloaded all three ISO images and placed
them on my XP drive, which is formatted as NTFS. When I booted from the
Linux boot image disk, same problem--could not find the images.
Somewhere, I think it was on the RedHat site, in one of the published
documents, it states that if you're placing the ISO images on a HDD,
that HDD needs to be formatted as FAT.

After I created a FAT partition with just enough space to hold the ISOs,
and then went back to the install, sure enough the ISOs showed up.

Moral of the story: RTFM. (Which, of course, I almost never do until I
get VERY desperate.) ;-)
