Did you change the jumpers on your 'failed' drive to slave or cable connect?
Your new hard drive would be master and your 'failed' drive should be
designated as slave. The BIOS probably cannot distinguish which drive it
should boot from as both may be set as master.
Check your drive instructions for details of setting the jumpers.
