It won't boot from the HD, but it does from the DVD with the operating disk. Once it boots I can get in to disk util's select the HD partition and it boots and the machine functions perfectly.
Having read lots of infomation I believe I need to get in to the OF and change the setting for my new HD (500Gig) but I may be wrong?

"Officially, Apple says that Macs running MacOS X 10.2 or higher released after June 2002 can use "big drives" -- those larger than 128 GB -- which would exclude the original iMac G4/700 (Flat Panel) and G4/800 (Flat Panel) models. However, third-parties have discovered that all iMac G4 models will support big drives running MacOS X 10.2 or later."
Maybe this helps?
