Connect your old HD (USB) and just copy and paste the files and folders from your old D: drive to your new data drive. Leave the .v2i image there too. Then reboot. It doesn't have to be done by imaging. Let us know your progress.

Its drive letters will be different but that doesn't matter. If you want to boot to that HD at a later time, no problem either.
