The error message can be seen with the circumstances I described.
Just because a new drive is working does not prove the old one was not.
The message appears when a floppy has been booted from with the format program available on it, and the RAMdrive driver was loaded by placing a reference to the driver in one of the startup files on the floppy.
When no hard drive is setup or installed with the BIOS CMOS setup program,
The RAMdrive driver loaded from the floppy grabs the first drive letter available....drive C.
The old hard drive probably was not correctly set up in the BIOS/CMOS.
There is rarely anything wrong with a hard drive...regardless of what error messages indicate or lead you to believe.

Open your mind, not your computer.
