"boot into recovery disc says OS not found"
are you sure its booting the CD? or did you just put the CD in and assume it did because it sounds like your CD is set to boot after HDD or you need to hit some hotkey for recovery. If you replaced your HDD you would need to have made recovery discs previously or try installing a retail version of windows
