The installer looks for a file called ".discX-i386" in the top dir of
each CD to verify that it is the correct CD - this file (in your case,
.disc1-i386) should contain "986787650.210260" - if your CD does not
have this file, or the file does not contain the above data, then the
installer will not recognize it.  

If for some reason you have a bona-fide Red hat 7.1 CD with a different
ID in this file, I can suggest some ways to get around this.
