I just got my Mac Os X install CD put it into my Mac and trying everything to just reformat and install fresh copy of osx. But it won't load from the CD goes straight into winXP after grey screen tried multiple different keys at start, reset nvpram still same deal.

Any solutions?

Hold "option" when you boot. That should let you use the CD.
