Well ok, ill go through all the possibles.
The squeaking is caused pad vibrating against the rotors, to avoid this they are clipped or glued or crimped to the caliper to reduce it, therefore the pad might not be fixed on properly!
Also brake dust and other sh*t can clog up areas which might prevent 100% contact with the pads and causes squeaking. Easy solution is to spray it all down with water though ideally you need to scrape all the channels clean, be careful though, inhaling brake dust is very dangerous!! Would probably have to take pads and calipers off as well.
The only other thing is the glazing which is what ive mentioned already.
Cant think of anything else mate.

This might sound extreme but you can remove the pads and on the LEADING edge on forward wheel motion, grind a very small camphor, just a small 45 degree angle on edge. This often stops them squeking, and you are talking about a millimetre or two in lost pad area, which aint going to make any difference anyway, and the material is designed to wear away, so its not as daft as it sounds. Try that if you cant get rid of it any other way.
