No, hard drives all have standard physical dimensions. There's 3.5" drives for desktop machines, and 2.5" for laptops. Are you sure that the drive in the old machine is dead, though? The "Missing Operating System" error doesn't necessarily mean that the hard drive is dead, it could just be that the bootloader has been wiped (by a virus, for example). When you tried booting from the recovery CD / Windows CD, you may have to press a key at the appropriate time to boot from CD, or you may need to enter the BIOS setup utility and configure it to boot from the CD before attempting to boot from the hard drive.
