hard drive not recognised

Hi ive got a 10gb hard drive with 10.4.11 and I removed my old one today and installed the new one. On putting all back together and turning on I get the little smiley face and a question mark. Am I supposed to do something at the chime! Please advise. As it is I snapped the trackpad cable so now have to replace the front.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

But why won't it load the old drive which is 10.1

Was it booting from the old drive before you replaced it? Did you put the old drive back in? What do you get on the screen when trying to boot from it?
