As I mentioned, if the old drive is plugged in, via USB, the system tries to boot Windows from it. So, something is telling it to look there, rather than on the new drive. But what?

With 2 disks in the system, one of which matches the device ID, Windows is apparently choosing the partition with the matching device ID. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think another component may be sector count and/or start/end sectors may also be in the registry as some sort of backup data confirming the original as an ostensibly correct choice between the twins available. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
