Fdisk /mbr only operates on the current c: drive, but if the partition is
primary and active, and you have performed a SYS C: with no errors to the
replacement drive then it should boot. What is the error message exactly?

Is the HDD the only HDD in the PC? Is the master/slave relationship correct?
Can you perform a DIR C: after booting from floppy disk and see the correct
drive and files in the root?
