Power mac G5 won't load OS

When trying to load the os into my powermac g5 I do control c and it starts but the I get the circle with the line through and that's it. I won't finish the loading of the os. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to format the hard drive or what? The drive had been wiped Before I bought the tower. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.4.4)
