Why are my brakes dragging?

I have replaced the rotors, pads, calipers, rubber brake lines here recently within a few days and the master cylinder has been replaced back in April, 06'. The car has been sitting and not driven at all. If anyone can help me please do. I'm stumped as is Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, and my local Honda dealership. The only thing I haven't replaced is the steel brake lines, the brake power booster and the proportioning valve.

Explain what you mean by dragging?
Do you mean as if one pad is constantly rubbing on the rotor?

Did I miss something? WTF does this have to do w/ dragging brakes?
Anyway, have u driven the car much since storage? Could just be rusted rotors. In that case it just needs to be driven and have the brakes used.
