Vista won't boot; blue screen with the message "Stop 0x0000007b"

Hello,
I just bought a new unibody macbook pro 15 to replace my old macbook pro 17. With winclone I created an image of my windows vista installed on my old macbook. On my new macbook I created a fat32 partition with bootcamp and using winclone, I copied the image vista on my macbook unibody. At the start of windows vista I have a blue screen with the message "Stop 0x0000007b" and my system restarts itself. I tried to correct with the vista cd installation but it does not work! Someone has already seen this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Macbook pro unibody, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

The Microsoft support website says, "A Stop: 0x0000007B error message indicates that Windows Vista or Windows Vista Setup cannot access the hard disk that contains the Windows Vista startup files. Typically, this Stop error occurs when Windows Vista cannot locate a compatible driver for the disk controller device. For example, this Stop error can occur if Windows Vista cannot locate a compatible driver for a RAID controller." Site link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935806

Doesn't Vista require a NTFS partition and not FAT32?

Vista may, or may not, like being on different hardware, unless they were the same family model of MBP.
