I may have missed something in the first posting; however, I had the same
problem the first time I changed HDs in my G4 AGP 1GHz.  The fix was pretty
easy.  I did not have the ribbon cable seated. Just unplugged it and put it
back in again.  If something is not really connected, it will not start.

Try reseating the cables.... the price is right and it cannot hurt.
