With the "old" HDD disconnected:

Start the computer with the Windows CD.
At the Welcome to Setup screen, press R to select the repair option.
You will have to enter the Administrator password - if none, just press <Enter>.
In the recovery console - type fixmbr > press <Enter>.
Then type fixboot > press <Enter>
Type Exit > press <Enter>.
Take the Windows disc out and reboot.
