You will never get Windows XP to install on the iMac it was never made to go on the iMac.
In regards to the Mac OS disk not working, what version of the Mac OS are you trying to install? If you want you can try holding down the C key on your keyboard while the machine turns on. That will boot the machine from the CD drive where you can attempt a reinstall.
If that doesn't work I refer you to the apple website
For Tray-loading iMac http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMa...gencyHndbk.PDF
and Slot-loading iMac http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58465
