if the cd-rom wont boot this machine, when it does boot on another 
machine - the most likely cause would be bad cd-rom or cd-rom cant read 
cd-media.

you could try booting over the network using PXE or just use the 
kernel+initrd from the pxe images, add them to the local grub loader, 
boot into a network install.

remember that there is no CentOS3 to CentOS4 upgrade path, you need to 
boot with the  'upgradeany' option and force CentOS4 onto the machine.

Perhaps, as has already been suggested, a fresh install might be better ?
