Hard drive failed -don't have windows disk

[cabinfever1977]

Do you get a boot screen at all?
If you do put the windows disk in and restart computer then press any key when it says to to install windows.
If no screen at all then you have a video/computer problem and you may have unplugged a important cable when you were swapping hard drives.

Did you set the cd/dvd drive as the 1st boot device in the bios? So the pc will boot from the media?

Remove and reinsert the video card if it has one as you may have bumped it while trying to replace the hard drive. Also, remove and reinsert the memory as well.
