well...i work at an auto place n do brakes n all that good stuff for a living....sometimes if people just slap on rotors n pads on a car it could end up squeaking. usually what u need to do with new rotors is what they call cutting them. What they usually do is put it on a brake lathe so it could even out the rotor to take out the lateral runout from it, meaning it's side to side motion. Mechanics do that to insure that there isnt any, assuming that rotors have been sittin on shelves with other rotors on top of them so it's like an insurance thing to make sure there isnt any runout on the rotor cause of that. Also like what other people have said is to clean out ur pads n rotors cause dust could cause the squeaking too. Also Moly lube the back of the pads as well. you could get Moly Lube at any auto parts store.

You're talking about "turning" the rotors, right? Or am I thinking of something totally different?

As for the brake squealing issue... you can find a lot of topics that discusses this by searching on google... here are some links that you may find useful in addition to what everyone else stated...
