Installing new SATA hard drive on HP dc7600

[dawneffect]

installed new hard drive and when I turn it on it gives me a "non-system disk or disk error, replace and hit any key to continue." is there a bios setting or a jumper I need to change?
thanks

If you already have a SATA hard drive installed with an operating system on it, format the new hard drive through Disk Management.

cant do it that way because it is a ultra slim desktop does not have extra slots or power coming out of power supply. old hard drive won't boot either that's why I bought new one is there another way. please help thanks

If neither the old hard drive, nor the new one will boot, isn't it possible that the problem is elsewhere?
I would remove and reseat all the cables. Then look at your SATA drivers.
