Mac troubleshooting help

Ok, Windows strikes again...

I bought a new iMac and my sister wants my old one. So I wiped the drive and then installed OS X and then upgraded to Leopard. She wanted Windows installed on a partition so I brought up bootcamp and made the partition. Inserted my Windows XP cd and booted on the CD per the instructions. The damn windows can't recognize the partition made by bootcamp and only wants to install on the main partition where the mac OS is. So I figure I'll just reboot and go into Bootcamp again and fix it. Only problem is that the computer won't boot into the Mac OS anymore, it's like Windows has taken over and wants the Win XP cd in the drive to boot. I tried to boot holding down the D key but I just get a gray screen.

Any ideas?

The Windows XP is an old version, from back in 2001 or so. Would that matter?
