Windows not genuine on new disk

I am running W7 and just bought a SSD. I used Ghost to copy my old disk over to the SSD.
When I boot off the SSD it says "Building new Desktop" for a couple minutes; then the whole screen goes blue except for a little "Windows not Genuine" in the lower left corner.

When I boot off the old disk, all is well.
How do I get this to run. Oddly, it is not covered in the ghost instructions.
------------------
Got it, the Ghost instructions were inadequate; I gave the new drive a letter like they said to, and that is wrong, and I didn't disconnect the old drive when I first booted the new drive because they don't say anything about it.
