Your downloaded disc contains elements which are incompatable with your newly installed drive data. You will have to take the disc to a computer lab and have it "edited" by an experienced person who has the software to do such editing. Then you can reinstall your old software back onto your new hard drive.
I think this is what you are trying to do.

RAW File Recovery
RAWRecovery can recover files from cases of deleted, missing / lost files and corrupt or missing drive where file system is severely corrupted or destroyed.
You should use RAW File Recovery in following cases:
File system data structures of a drive have suffered serious corruption or overwriting and data recovery software cannot scan such drives.
DeletedRecovery, FormatRecovery or AdvancedRecovery cannot locate missing / lost files and folders.
Files were deleted "long back" and cannot be identified because of over-writing to file system data structures.
Recently deleted files are not recovered because of severe fragmentation. This is a common problem in FAT file system drives. RAW file recovery can discover such deleted files and folders from the temporary copies created by the application software and/or the operating system.
RAW File Recovery scans every sector of your storage media for the lost files that you wish to recover and displays them in a tree according to the file type. The software scans the drive in RAW mode and can locate the files without the aid of file system data structures.
It recognizes and restores many file types. This includes word processor, document, spreadsheet, graphic, internet, multimedia, source code and many such file formats. The list of file types can be viewed and selected in the software.
Data Recovery Wizard has a tighter integration with windows operating system while scanning logical drive. The software supports FAT and NTFS file systems and a user can scan the entire logical drive or scan only in the unused disk space. All version of Windows are supported including - Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP.
Data Recovery Wizard RAW File Recovery can recover data from various types of storage media including:
Hard Drives
Floppy Disks
Zip Disks
USB Drives
Any other storage device whose drive letter is displayed in Windows "My computer".
Limitation: Files are recovered without file names and storage paths.
Note: It is recommended that you use RAWRecovery only after scan results by DeletedRecovery, FormatRecovery and AdvancedRecovery do not show the file types to be recovered or the recovery results of the scan are poor.

If your drive is too raw, take it out of the computer and microwave it on high for a few minutes. Three minutes should be good for a twenty gigabyte drive, longer for larger drives. Once you have fixed the RAW filesystem problem, allow it to cool and put it back in your computer.

To backup data from your hard disk you'll have to use a raw read-write program.
