Depends entirely on what else you have on the drive.
If you go to the icon of the hard drive and hit "Get Info" (Command-I) what does it say about space available?
Also, if you are inadvertently attempting to install or decompress a program onto the CD instead of the hard drive, it will report that there is no space.

Your iMac originally shipped with Mac OS 8.1, but it's not important.
Are you sure the startup disk is the hard drive and not the CD?
The boot disk icon will be top-right on the desktop.
You can change the startup disk by selecting the Apple-menu, then Control Panels, and then Startup disk.
