Any ideas why I am getting this error? I cannot boot into safe mode.

Is the new HDD plugged in correctly? Have you tried it with another system to ensure that it works?
And does the system work fine when you plug the old HDD back in?
Been a while since I've done any PS3 HDD swapping, but assuming the new drive's working fine and the PS3 doesn't have trouble recognizing it, I don't know that there's anything you can do until you can get into safe mode to install the system software. What's happening when you try and boot into safe mode?
Format the drive to NTFS on a pc first, than put it in your PS3.
I thought it was the other way around (fat32)
