Hard drive crashed, replaced with same size and now when I put the recovery cd 1 in the drive it starts and I see Windows bar likes it working/loading but then stops and tells me recovery cannot run on this system? Everything in the computer is original parts except hard drive.

The Recovery CDs probably relied on a hidden partition on the hard drive that is no longer there due to having to replace the drive. You can reinstall Windows either using reinstall media or contact your laptop manufacturer and see if they will provide the necessary media to do so.
