Gateway / Motion M1200 OS loading problem

Im looking for some help with a Gateway / Motion M1200 Tablet. I bought one of these without a hard drive and purchased a seperate HD from Hitachi. Its the high performance, 7200 RPM, machine. Installed the HD and plugged the CD in with the restore disk. No response,... even when I change bios priority to cd. Not sure the deal here , seems like it should boot from cd but cd does not show any signs of life. Any thoughts on how I might get the OS on the new HD ?? Thanks
:boat:

Just a quick question

Have you taken the CD to a desktop or different CD player to make sure it is bootable?

Your post instigated a more thorough treatise here. I had put the recover cd in another machine to see if anything was on it. Looked OK seemed like everything was there. But I had not put the cd in a machine and then powered up that machine to see if it brought things up. Tried it now and it did not... Not sure however, the machine I put the recover cd into has XP pro on it and it may not boot from cd unless you tell it too...

thx
