Not exactly true, because you've installed Adobe Photoshop on it and
thereby lost all the settings you made on your old PC, unless of
course you've copied your settings files from the old PC to the new
one. Also, Photoshop has the annoying habit of installing Adobe Gamma
in start-up folder without asking you, potentially interfering with a
third party LUT loader you may have. Just drag Adobe Gamma out of the
Startup folder.

Your Photoshop settings file(s) are worth copying over from the old PC
if you've not already done so. I don't know which version of Windows
you were running, but on my Windows XP system using Photoshop CS the
Photoshop preferences and colour settings files are kept in 
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings

(this line has probably wrapped, so remove line breaks to restore it)
where <username> is your user name in Windows - just browse in Windows
Explorer.

If you're on PS7 instead of CS (8.0) the folder structure may differ,
but you could search your old hard drive using Windows Explorer for
file names of the form *.psp and *.csf. In my case there are files called
Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp
and
Color Settings.csf
in the folder mentioned above.

That's probably worth a try and may save you hours of grief in trying
to remember what you did. If it works, take a backup copy of these
files for future use in case PS trashes them (it can happen).
