New hard drive instalation problem.

Hi all. My old hard drive (C) gave it up recently and my mate at work gave me his 'old' one to replace it. I plugged it in and when I re-boot, it says no boot failure or something like that and it asks me to insert a boot disk. I have tried every combination (master/slave) between the one thats in there now (drive D) and the new one that went in place of the old drive C. I have even swapped them over and placed the new one where drive D is and the old one where drive C used to be..!! No joy, when I do that it asks for a boot disk again.

Do I put the new one in and boot up with my XP disk and load windows on to that? That is all I can think of doing at the moment......
