Check if the FDD is connected properly (check both data and power cables). If you don't have floppy, set it to none in STANDARD CMOS SETUP. To boot from CD-ROM, you need to have CD-ROM drive before HDD in the boot order - e.g. 1st: CD-ROM, 2nd: HDD

already but i get the line boot from cd: (and after a few sec) boot disk failure please enter system disk and press enter.

since there is a new hard disk there is no data on it. could i boot from my old harddisk and install windows on my new on once booted?
