Why won't my G3 powerbook (wallstreet II) boot from hard drive?

when i bought this powerbook it came with an os 8.5 disc and a bad hard drive. I replaced the hard drive with a new 80gb pata drive and partitioned the first 7gb for the os like it says to online. when i boot from cd it loads fine and the disk utility says the hard drive is good and I can install the os. It installs fine but when i restart i get the disc with question mark icon. I thought maybe it was the os so i got jaguar 10.2 and same thing. It installed but wont boot. the jaguar disc utillity says the hard drive is slave but i dont know how to change that or if it even matters. someone please help. dont suggest i get a new computer because i have a 2.4ghz macbook pro..... this is just a toy to play with
