Cpu time off indicates that the CMOS/BIOS battery is dead.
In general you can't install Windows on one PC and then move the hard drive to a different PC with a different motherboard. When Windows is installed it customizes itself to the hardware it finds on the motherboard. Rarely when you restart Windows it will find that the disk controller is compatible and it will boot.
I suggest you change the CMOS button battery and then try another Windows install.
Good Luck
