Did you clone the operating system from the old drive to the new drive? It doesn't sound like you did.

Put the old drive back in and clone it to the new drive.

did you change the jumpers around so that the old is master & the new is slave? also is the new hd on the end connector or the middle connector of the ide cable if 80 wire 40pin connector?
