I replaced my hard drive and since then the problem started.

You might be set for Boot from disc. Press F2 when booting to get to settings and change boot from disc to boot from hard drive.

Given that the OS is properly installed, you may have incorrectly set the jumpers on the drive.
Sometimes the BIOS will not boot from a drive (or offer the option to) if it is set as a slave drive.
Besides the other good points brought up already I would make sure it is configured as "Primary Master" in your BIOS.

It's possible there is a problem with the boot loader on your new hard disk.
If you using Windows:
Put in the install CD and boot it.
Go into the recovery console.
Run: fdisk /mbr
This should reinstall the master boot record and Windows should then boot normally.

I'm assuming that you have formatted and installed your operating system on the new hard disk...?
Otherwise.....the Master Boot Record (MBR) is corrupted or not present. You will need to insert your operating system disk into the drive and repair the MBR. That will depend on the operating system you use.....check your OS website for details on repairing installations or repairing MBR.

go to bios setup
check the priority of boot devices
if c-drive is not there, apply it as first or second boot device.
