My cousin had a mobo die (a7v-vm mocha) - he got exact same one and installed it in same fashion - nothing changed at all with HDD.

It wil boot but it says "operating system not found". If he pushes delete or F2 and this error message skips and it will boot. F1 gets him into the BIOS and he has set it to boot from HDD first - any ideas? He has to push delete or F2 to boot into this PC now.

What does the BIOS say about the function of the F2 key? Maybe you should clear the CMOS.
