This could be something as simple as a stone trapped between your caliper and disk.
Does the squeal go away when you brake?

If the pads are good take them off and on a flat surface clean the pad face on glass paper (sand paper) just to clean away any small grit. Check the discs, anything that looks worn could be worth replacing, not that expensive. The onlt sure way I have found of getting rid of squeakes is new discs and pads. This is obviously more expensive but make driving much better and braking back to A1 quality.

stick some copper grease on the back of the pads also..
