You need to reword your question. As presented, it is unclear as to your
meaning. For example, what are you inserting? There is no such thing as
inserting a hard drive.

I think he means "install".
Sounds to me that the OP is having boot errors.
He might try tapping the F8 key (or whatever key will get them to a
boot mode prompt. In mine it's the F10 key.) on start up
and boot to safe mode and run a few diagnostics to try and fix the
bugs.
We do need a bit more info such as OS and maybe the error messages to
be of any real help.
