Q: PowerBook G4 won't boot. Want to wipe drive How to

Hello Everyone:

I know nothing about OSx. 10.5.8

What I want to do is wipe the drive. Install new Osx. What I have is an PowerBook G4 that won't boot .A flash drive that I will use for install, the file..Install OSx Mavericks.dmg (4.94GB) I have TransMac or Rufus to create bootable drive.I have DBAN on a flash drive to wipe the HDD. But I can't get it to work. I REALLY NEED HELP !!!! Step by step instructions would be perfect.I have to do all this on a PC. Do I format the flash drive with GPT ? I have tried to install OSx but laptop does not detect the drive,maybe because I messed up making the bootable drive? HELP!! Thanking you in advance for any input.

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
