error message "Restart computer' is repeating

After installing a new hard drive, great step by step explanation on ifixit, I installed the OS version 10.4.7 which the computer came with.

Than I installed the OS X Leopard and connected with the time machine to restore the backup files.

This took multiple hours and this morning I got the message restore complete please reboot. which I did but now after rebooting the gray screen turns to a dark gray screen and the message in a black box appears "Restart computer by holding down the button..." Unfortunately everytime I do this I end up with the same screen.

I run disk utilities and repair disk, but can't detect any problems.

Disconnect the external and try. Start in "Safe Mode" by holding down the "shift key". If successful download the 10.5 updates and get it to 10.5.8.

Thank you for your help. I discovered that we actually upgraded to Snow Leopard and to restore files from the time machine it has to be with the same operating system as it was saved as a back up.

Now the imac is up and running again and everything was saved.

If you upgraded to Snow Leopard, you have an Intel machine, not a G5.
