iMac G5 Terminal Problem

[syntax_014]

So I Have a iMac G5, and I want to load Windows on it, Ever since I put in the CD for the OS, I have to press the power buttom longer the usual and then it makes a long and loud noise then the startup tone, it logs in all normal with the Apple logo appearing as it should, but when I go to log in it brings me to a Terminal with black and white lettering repeating the same information (which I think is info packets going across Wi-Fi for the connection status), it will ask me two questions "login:" and "Password:"
even if I type everything thing in right it will bring me back to the normal login screen.

Please Help, Thanks in advance.

If your Mac is truly an iMac G5, that is a Power PC Processor and will not run windows in any way. Only Macs with Intel CPU's will run windows. Are you sure you own an iMac G5?

Except for maybe this and the summation comment that should be heeded:

You can only run Windows on a Power PC Mac using an emulator like Virtual PC. And get ready to learn a new meaning for the term "slow as molasses". Plus I'm pretty sure Virtual PC does not run on G5 machines. Sorry.
