This means you have not formatted the hard drive and/or you have not installed a workable Mac OS on it, or perhaps the drive is jumpered incorrectly. It should be set to Master.
Boot from the OS CD that came with the iMac. (Insert the OS CD. Reboot. Hold the C key down throughout the boot procedure untill the installer screen appears, may take several minutes.
