This new disk how did you load windows on it?
Did you clone it?

If the system is different it won't work because it has different drivers.
You'll have to reload windows.

Windows and all of your data is stored on your hard drive. If you removed the hard drive and put one in from a different computer without reinstalling windows, you will not have a working computer.
