Hmm.   Recently I had to stop my collegue from ordering a replacement 
disk, he'd made sure that it was the right speed (U320) and it had the 
right number of pins, but the one in the machine was low voltage 
differential (LVD) and the one he was ordering wasn't.   Look up the 
model number of the disk you're replacing and the one you're replacing 
it with and make sure that both have the same spec -- although the fact 
that the system finds it suggests you've got it right enough.

So you copied everything off the old disk on to the new disk?   Sounds 
reasonable.  It sounds as though you haven't installed the boot loader 
on the new disk though.   To do that you'll need to boot an installation 
CD in rescue mode, follow the instructions about chroot and then

   grub-install '(hd0)'

to install grub.
