Repairing Windows 7 install after a borked sysprep

Attempting to move my Windows installation from one Dell Latitude series laptop to another slightly different Dell Latitude series laptop.

I ran SYSPREP on the laptop, which succeeded and the laptop shut down. Then moved the hard disk over to the new laptop. Upon booting it up I get the error "C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe" "error 0xc0000098", "windows failed to load because the kernel is missing or corrupted" and the system won't boot. The original hardware is no longer available to boot from.

I booted into the Windows 7 recovery console, re-created the BCD and made sure the boot sector and MBR was in place. It all looks fine. I'm guessing that this is the result of a failure in the sysprep process, or maybe some sort of missing driver that is preventing Windows from reading the hard disk (e.g missing SATA controller drivers)

I have other computers I can work with, USB sticks, ISOs of Windows 7 etc. at my disposal to try and solve this problem. Is there anything I can do to recover this installation of Windows without having to re-install from scratch?

Can you run Windows 7 Repair from the Recovery Console?  I am not certain because you usually need the system running to run Repair Install.

Sysprep does not automatically load drivers so you would need Video, Chipset and possibly other drivers.

Can you install new drivers just booting with another Windows DVD?  I don't think so. I think you need the system running.
