Could you go to this page and click system analysis http://www.dell.com/...s-m1330/drivers

This will determine the driver that you require

If this fails you may need to do a repair install of windows, but we will come to that later if needed

Go to Control Panel > Device Manager
Open the disc drive section by clicking the arrow
Right click the disc drive name and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select Update driver

Unfortunately you will need to order the recovery discs from DELL https://www.dell.com...c=us&l=en&s=dhs

I believe they charge $15 or the equivalent

Unfortunately as you cloned the drive it has some misleading information about the hard drive, hence the stop code you are receiving
