Default laptop help

okay heres whats going on, i had a laptop, it died. i had data and programs on the laptop. the hardrive is fine. the orginal laptop was replaced by a different model laptop, but i kept the old hardrive. i have a usb adapter for the old hardrive so i can hook it up to the new laptop and view the files easly (on usb). but what i need is a way to restore the programs and files onto the new laptops drive. to have it "The way it was" kind of thing. what are some programs that could do this? seing as its a different model a hardrive swap wont work. so any help would be good=)

if i was unclear and need to rephrase my thoughts let me know. i can sometimes get my thoughts mixed up when posting....

won't work for pretty much all of the programs there are.
what you're asking is impossible.

I'M NOT SURE if this is possible but try booting the hd in a pc and make an image. once it does then create an image
