Make sure your new drive is set to:

"Master", if it is the only drive on your system.
If you install both drives on IDE1, one drive must be set to "master/slave present" (This will be your C: drive), the other drive should be set to "slave".

If one drive is on IDE1 and the other on IDE2, both should be set to master.

Install the new drive as above, make a startup disk from another windows system, boot from floppy disk, when at the DOS prompt
type : A:>SYS C:<return>
This will transfer the system files to drive C:
If SYS.COM is not on the floppy, youl find it in the "c:\windows\command" directory.

If it still dose not boot run Fdisk, make sure the C partition status is set to "A" Active.

Hope this helps you.
