    I am assuming you are having to disconnect the power from the new hard drive to get the machine to boot up. If this is the case, have you checked the jumper settings on both hard drives, old and new, to make sure they are set correctly? The drive with your OS being master and your second HD as slave.

    You would also want to be sure that your IDE ribbon cable is correctly hooked up. Make sure the master drive is connected to the very end of the cable and the slave drive is connected to the middle connector of the ribbon cable.
