So I got my new Hard Drive today(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822136320)
And i was all excited to have it up and running when i finally plug it in it doesnt work it says "Boot Disk Failure, Please Insert Boot Disk And Press Enter" but the problem is i dont have the disk and when i press f11 at boot screen to try and do system recovery nothing happens

Does anyone know how i can fix this?

Press F9 or w/e your boot menu button is at the beginning of start up. Then select the main hdd that has windows installed.
