Default Older Sony PCG GR270K

This is my first post on this Forum. Good Morning..The hard drive in the above notebook failed and a new one installed. The BIOS does not see the removable CD in order to use it to install a new OS, however the Setup does offer the option of booting from a removable device.
When removable device or CD-Rom is selected in the Setup, the system just grinds away for a minute and comes back "Operating system not found". This is understandable, so how does one install a new OS in this situation. The CD worked fine before this incident..
thanks

It seems that the problem could be with the bios as it does not recognize the removable disk. Have you tried reinstalling the BIOS?

If you cannot reinstall the BIOS try resetting the BIOS setting to DEFAULT or FACTORY setting.
