Hi Sharlene.
To do this you need to use the recovery disk environment. Check the next note. This explain the copy hard disk tool is just for the same machine.

sharlene,
This sounds like a drive letter issue and not related to using the HD in a different computer. Should be easy to fix. Did you partition the new HD before the copying process? Or was the new HD unpartitioned (Unallocated Space)? Did you assign a drive letter to the new HD? Was the new HD mounted internally or USB externally for the copy process?

As Dannyboy said above;
you need to create a recovery point backup image with "restore anyware" enabled rather than use copy hard drive
and then use the recovery cd and the image to restore to "Different hardware"
even though it's technically the same hardware it's actually different hardware due to the serial numbers
windows is freaking out on you because all the serial numbers have changed
cheers
*disclaimer
copy hard drive
as well as restoring from a backup image
isn't intended to be used to bypass
purchasing windows CD's

Hi
I Just wanted to say thanks everyone for your help. I have now managed to get the exact Hard Drive copy to work perfectly.
Apologies for the delay in letting you know.
Kind Regards
Sharlene
