MIssingOperatingSystem message upon bootup after cloning hard drive. Please help!!

I just bought a 500GB Seagate Internal Hard Drive Model:smileyfrustrated:T3500641AS-RK. I cloned my old hard drive, which has XP on it onto this new one, but everytime I try to boot my newly cloned HD I get the MissingOperatingSystem message upon bootup. Can anyone please help me with this?? Also, please keep in mind that I'm not completely tech savvy, so please provide a thourough,step-by-step, explanation. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!!
 
Also, I don't know if this will matter much, but when I did the cloning process I'm pretty sure I did automatic, and not manual, and it pretty much went along on its own without any interference from me.

Did you reboot before you removed the old drive and put the "slave" and changed the jumper back to MASTER ?
