If it will boot, that shows that your installed OS isn't completely 
functional. Can you use any of the utility programs on the CD to "see" the 
installed OS?

Does the installed OS show up in the start-up disk selection window?

Have you tried to run First Aid?

Have you tried to re-install the OS?

Attempt a "clean install" if you can find that option, that might fix your 
non-operative installation by giving you an alternative OS to boot from.

My only other suggestion right now is to get a copy of Drive 10 from 
MicroMat. It is supposed to be able to fix drive problems under OS-X.

I haven't had all that much experience trouble-shooting OS-X yet, and hope I 
have pointed you in the general direction of solving the problem.
