I would check to make sure it's properly connected. I'm not sure of the
connection on the drive as the only iMac newer than a G4 I've worked on is
a 2.16 GHz C2D one.
If that isn't the problem try and find a friend with a G5 they will let you
use to see if it's a drive or motherboard issue.

I put a hard drive in it that already had a OS on it (10.5) and it boots when
the Superdrive is not installed. When I install the Superdrive the light on the

Are you trying to boot a OS disk or just a regular disk in general keeping
it from booting? If you're trying to boot an OS disk you need to use a
10.2-10.5, 10.5 is the best as it provides the most usability and it runs
well on a G5.
Also, to boot from a disk you need to hold down the C key, and i

10.2 is slow. Panther and Tiger are a lot better.
As far as I know there isn't. Even if there was it would be so dreadfully slow
you would want to throw it out the window. OS 10.2 felt slow on my 400 MHz iMac
with a gig of ram, so I'm sure Leopard would be worse.

No there isn't. There may be a G3-optimized Darwin, but OS X is a microkernel

While, it is basically impossible within reason, and I'm assuming you meant OS
X 10.5. Either way, these are the MINIMUM requirements for Leopard, and your
G3 would require a complete overhaul just to run it at its minimum.

You can't. It's not merely impractical, it's not possible.
Leopard on PPC requires Altivec, which is only present in the G4 and above..
