Default OT: Need Vista help suggestions

I managed to damage my motherboard last night beyond easy repair.

Upgraded to a new PC (Intel Quad Q6600 4gig RAM) with Vista Premium 64bit media center edition.

I installed my old hard drive using SATA and its accessible plus working fine. The trouble is that any programs I try to run from my old HD is not really showing installed. For example SE5 is asking for the serial again, itunes thinks its a new machine, etc.

Can I import the registry from my old HD to the new Vista powered system?

What can I do to make everything import over?

Vista has this easy transfer program, but its looking for the second computer not a second drive on the same machine. It does what I need, but I can't seem to get it to look at the second drive to import the stuff. The old HD is the F: drive for the record.

Any suggestions? (think freeware.....IE no cost involved.
