Could be a couple things. First and most likely you don't have the jumbers correct on the drives and it's identifying the new hard drive as your primary drive in which case it's not seeing your propper c drive.

Assuming that is the problem and you haven't fdisked your original hard drive you need to take out the drive and make sure the jumper on it is set to slave.

Then you should be able to boot up without a floppy, get to windows and then fdisk and format your second drive. Which should then be drive letter D and your CDrom will then become E.

If you have for some reason killed your primary drive then you need to fdisk both drives format /sys the primary master and format the slave drive and re-install everything.
