Problem on recovery to a new laptop (same hardware)

Hi all

 

Last week my laptop broke down and my company gave me another laptop, with exactly the same HW of my old PC (same model). It's new an there's windows 7 installed already. I have a ghost image of my old PC, and the only way I have to recover my data is trying to load the ghost image to the new PC. I tried but It seems it doesn't recognize the image, saying me that the image is invalid. Somebody can help me? should I format the new HD to restore the image?

 

thank you...
