You can get that error if you've left a floppy disk in your floppy drive by accident.

If that's not it, make sure the cables and the jumpers are exactly as they were before you introduced the other drive.

Did the 2nd, bigger, drive ever work properly? Did you scan it for viruses at all during the testing?

Did you move your memory modules at all while you were inside the case?. . . and have you been having any problems before just recently with the computer?

Hopefully it's just a floppy in the drive!

Both of these are from Microsoft's knowledge base. It looks like something got damaged in the boot sector of your old hdd... don't really know, I'm just throwing ideas out. What kind of hdd was the bigger one? Were they both SATA or IDE?

Another thing... maybe check the bios to make sure that it is correctly identifying your hdd. it could have gotten changed when you put the big one in, and then for some reason not changed back.
