The computer boots to the F1 option screen.I have even adjusted the BIOS to boot the the CD with the recovery disk in it.What are my options
 
Solution
install the os on the new hard drive then and only then hook up the old drive as a second drive and then try to copy only the files you need over like the my documents or anything like that.
