I recently purchased a new hard drive and cloned my info onto it. When I went to plug it in and boot up the computer it just made a loud beeping noise repetitively. The worst part is when I went to plug my old hard drive back in it did the same thing. What do I do or what did I do wrong?

Are you positive you plugged everything back in including the power cable to the hard drive. Check to see if the other end of the drive cable to the motherboard didn't come unplugged. Is the computer even booting to the POST screen. Does ANYTHING happen aside from beeping. Is there a specific number of beeps? Those beeps are codes that tell you what the error is. Check to see you didn't accidentally unplug something or bump something loose.
