Insert the boot disk in drive and hit key to enter CMOS control panel,on drive configuration panel locate drive and select AUTO,save changes and exit.
Now proceed to install the Operating System on the new drive
If you have access to another computer,go to Microsoft Knowledgebase and download and install the latest version of ATAPI.exe file
