You can't just pre-install an OS on a HDD and expect it to boot in another computer. Pentium III hardware is different from P4.
Why can't you just hook up a CD drive on your P4 mobo and install it from there?

| Slave your CD drive along with the HDD. Your HDD should be set to 'master'. Your IDE cable should have 2 connectors.

Did you even try to get into BIOS? It could be that booting from CD Drive is off by default.
Either that or your BIOS has a problem.
