You cannot install Windows 7 on one computer and then "move" it (move the hard disk it's installed on) to a different computer and expect Windows to start. It's just will not work that way. The hardware & internal components on both computers is completely different. That fact alone will halt the boot process dead in it's tracks.

You must install Windows 7 directly on to the computer you want to use it on so that the hardware inside that specific system is correctly recognised and registered during the installation process.
