Derek: I think your box has cables for more than one internal right? if so, the easiest way to deal with this is hook up each drive to the expansion drive cables and initialize them one by one using the system drive to boot each time.
Initiallize with "Drive Setup", which will install an Apple driver that will then make the drive usable and visible. After all this, you can add a systems or whatever as required, preferably with the original CD's. You could also boot the box from the CD and do the same thing with the drives attached to the internal cables. This should work fine. I think your problem is trying to load stuff onto an uninitiallized drive... and besides, simply copying files from one drive to another doesn't take care of lots of invisible items, etc. The only way to completely copy one drive's contensts to another is to use a utility like Carbon Copy...
