Your all over the place.

1. Are you trying to install windows on the new HD?

2. If you are you will need to make a bootable 4GB or more flash drive to install windows without a DVD drive.

Ok. You will need to get the recovery media form manufacturer website. You will have to buy this from them. The cost is between 10-20 US Dollars.

Hello Kingpin1960

If you have a win7 32 bit install disk just use the %cd%\sources\install.wim file and imagex from x86 WAIK.
