Why the HDD wont start the mac os installed?

I own a macbook pro late 2009 with 250 gb seagate 5400 rpm.

I replaced it with a HDD hitachi 500 7200 rpm.

It never finished the mac os installation but when i connected it externally through a usb it did well and the install finishes succesfully.

And when i tried to use the old HDD everything seems to be ok !

Would like if any one would help as am depending on this laptop for many tasks.

Thanks

MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Clone the

old drive onto the new one. Use the external case and either: OSX instal Tools, restore, or any of the free/share/ware available.
