well there's more to an airport card than just the card, you also have the slot. which could be the problem as well.
anyways, it's a matter of deduction. if you would test the airport card first by booting up from a system cd without having the hd connected you would know that the airport card and everything involved is ok or not. if that works fine and it boots up with just the hd as well and it doesn't boot up when both are connected then look at what as changed? in the old situation everything worked right? in the new one, a new hd, it doesn't. so the problem is probably based on the new hd. unless it is a buggy harddrive the only thing you can change or what can influence the system are the hd jumpers.
if you don't have a manual from the hd check online, most hd manufacturers have the complete jumper settings online. take out the hd, check if it's the right config. check all possible settings. if it's master try slave or vice versa. if that doesn't work at all than you're airport card and hd can't get along with eachother. which would be extremely odd.
