I think it should be well worth noting here that what ever the format the old drive is, will be formatted to the new drive, as someone else suggested, however, the thing is, and I don't think you realize this, as I made this mistake also.
The fact is, the formatting that will get transferred from the old drive to the new drive means that the size of the old drive will get transferred onto the new drive. In other words, if your old drive was a 20 gigabyte drive, and you're restoring the image to the new drive that is 500 gigabytes, the computer will see the 500 gigabyte drive as a 20 gigabyte drive. I believe this is done to prevent piracy and other issues from occurring. Suffice it to say, I do believe that you'll need to completely re-install the software again if you want to use the new drive with the old hardware configuration, otherwise you're new drive will be undetected for what it really is.
