I have replaced the nonworking HDD in my old PC with an SSD and BIOS detects the SSD drive. Now every time I boot, I get the message
Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter.
Any suggestions what might help?

Given that the BIOS detects the SSD, the solution is going to be to reinstall your OS.
During the installation, you select the SSD as destination, and the OS installation will make sure the SSD is setup correctly.
You have to make sure the SSD is the startup drive in the BIOS and that the install media is being used during installation.
For example, on most modern systems, you set the boot drive to your SSD, and there is a key you can press during POST to go into the boot selection menu. From there you select the device that holds the install medium, such as a USB stick or CD.
If the bios does not offer support for a boot menu, you have to set the install medium as first boot device, and the SSD second, install the OS and once the first stage is done and it reboots, remove the install medium so it boots to the SSD.
