you are getting the no operating system message because there is no operating system on the new drive.

the restore cd is used to fix an existing operating system not to install an operating system

with the help of another computer an imaging software you might be able to clone the bad hard drive to the new hard drive.

if that is not an option or if it does not work you will need to install an operating system on the new hard drive
