did u check ur sound card connection? it may have come loose when you were installing your hard drive. it is a 4 pin connector on the inside of your cpu. or did your sound card come out of your pci slot?

If your MoBo (Mother Board) has an "On Board" or built-in sound card device, you may need to disable this on board device before any installed sound card will work.
Shut down the computer (Not Re-Start, but Shut Down).
Re-start the computer.
Continually press the "Delete" key every 5 seconds during start-up.
(For some computers, instead of "Delete" try the F10, F1, F2 keys")
When in the BIOS setup, try to poke around and find the "Integrated Devices" option and disable the "Integrated Sound" option.

Find the manufacturer of your sound card and go to their web site to get the drivers.

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful
