You should zap the PRAM and reset the NVRAM whenever you're changing out hardware such as a HD.

You should also boot OS X with a Safe Boot to rebuild the system caches.

Hold Cmd-Opt-P-R keys for several chimes to zap the PRAM, then after one chime slide the fingers on P & R over to O & F so you're holding Cmd-Opt-O-F. At the Open Firmware prompt type these commands:

set-defaults<Return>
reset-all<Return>

where <Return> means hit the Return key. The response should be "ok" to the 1st command, and a restart to the 2nd command. Upon restart, use the Option key if you wish to select the startup partition. In each OS X System boot once holding the Shift key to rebuild the system startup caches.

Hopefully all is well.
