Pismo Sound & Hard Drive Questions

I got a 40Gb that was originally came in a G4 Powerbook that was erased and zeroed out with no OS. When I have the hard drive installed, it does not give me the flashing "?" telling me it cannot find a system folder and freezes when I try to boot from an OS CD (9.1 in this "test" case). I also tested it with the Fujitsu 18GB that I upgraded my WallStreet with and got the same results. My original WallStreet 2Gb gives me the flashing "?". But when I remove the hard drive and reinstall everything, it does what it is supposed to and I can boot from the OS CD.



I went to my local Apple store and they told me it appeared I had the drive installed correctly in the caddy. Could this be related to the cable on the drive caddy? I installed the caddy minus the hard drive and it gave me the flashing "?". Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help!
