You've asked questions on Powerbook G4s and Unibodies, is this a different unit, all your machine seem to have the same type of problem: Why is MacBook Pro stuck in Apple logo with a spinning wheel?

Did you check the EFI firmware version is the correct level for your system. I vaguely remember they added larger HD support in the firmware (not documented)

Here's a link the Apples MacBook EFI Firmware Update 2.1:

If you use an external Firewire or USB case to prep the HD make sure you use an external AC power brick to power the external drive and have good Firewire or USB 2 cables.

Lastly, you should be able to migrate your files from the internal drive over and then using the system Prefs > Startup Disk select your external disk to boot up from. If that works you should have no problems swapping it out.

I assume you made sure the given drive physically fits correctly inside and has the correct I/O interface to work in your system. If you are able to prep the drive and run from it externally but are unable to run it internally you'll need to give us the HD drives details maker, model number and size.
