If you're running Windows I'd:

1. Do a fresh Windows install on the new hard drive.
2. Update all your drivers.
3. Let windows do its gazillian updates.
4. Defragment the new drive.
5. Reinstall whatever other programs you use.
6. Migrate your files (documents, pictures, music, ect...) from the old hard drive to the new one.

Imaging a 5 year old Windows install is going to slow things down move a bunch of problems you don't even know you have to your new drive...
Save a life. Adopt a greyhound.
