What does this mean: "No root device found. Boot has failed, sleeping forever?"

I have a Feadora 12 Live CD. It booted up fine on my 700 Mhz computer. I've since then put a new HDD in with which I intended to install Fedora on. But now i get this message

What does this mean? How do get the Live CD to boot? :confused:

You usually need to go to the BIOS setup and select the device to boot from, or more often the order of devies to try.
