New HD Boot Problems

[AoL_Is_My_EnEmY]

My friend just installed a new 120GB 7200 WD HDD on an older Compaq computer who's harddrive shat the bed. The jumpers are correctly set to master, and the computer is detecting it properly in the BIOS, but on boot it get's to the compaq logo and hard restarts. Any ideas on how to fix it?
