    unfortunately, doing a re-install is about your only (and easiest) route to take.
    You drive has the drivers from the failed system, which is why it will not boot.. If you need to remove files, put the original dell drive back in & read the other drive as a 2nd drive & you can remove the files you need.

    To do what you want download Paragon Adaptive Restore CD - SkyDrive
    Burn to CD using WIndows Image Burner
    Boot to P2P Adjust the Win7 partition so it will now boot on new hardware. You can do this operation on the new hardware itself.

    If it won't start at reboot you may need to confirm that the 100mb System REserved (preferred if you have it) or C is Partition Marked Active and then run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times
    to repair the System Boot files.

    When it starts it will swap out most drivers in a cascade you can monitor by clicking on the driver animation in the bottom-right System Tray. While it's doing this enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3). After requested reboot install all Important and Optional Updates until there are no more offered when you reboot and check again.
