you probably didnt clean the old brake dust on the caliper. and also you may have not used copper grease / anti squeel grease on the pads?

What discs and pads are they? Red Dot discs are prone to squealing, as are pads without anti-squeal shims.

Alcon's are prone to squealing full stop. That's how to pretend you've got one when you haven't in a traffic jam
