I also agree about a fresh install.
By trying to run the old installation on that hard drive, you will be carrying along any registry errors you already might have, as well, as probaby creating a whole bunch of new ones.

I remember trying that years ago with Win98SE.
Yeah, it worked, and I didn't have to reinstall all my programs.
But it caused no end of headaches. As half my programs never associated properly and wouldn't open when they should, etc.
As well, as all kinds of goofy issues.
Ended up wiping the drive and starting from scratch.
Time consuming and tedious. But that investment of time at the begining saves tons of headache in the following months.
