To begin the installation:
* Make sure your booting sequence set to floppy first.
* insert the boot floppy, then
* restart the computer.
* follow the on screen instructions
Best is follow the documentation of Mandrake Linux. It has a detailed information on installing from other sources section.

Regarding the cds burn at low speeds say 24x, u must have burnt it at 52x. And dont feel bad about losing two cds, u wont regret it after installing Linux and I think there are 3 cds for Mandrake 10.1. Its better to go for installation thru cds than hard disk which is a little complicated.
Best of Luck !
