Can you boot into single user terminal? (Restart hold Apple S) If so in there type /sbin/fsck -fy until the **files system changed** message stops showing after

You need to put in the CD and reboot. Before it starts to boot up you need to hold the "c" key on your keyboard down and keep it pressed untill it boots the disk.
