Well if you still have your old drive, all of the drivers are still on
there. Now all you need to do is to find them and get them transferred.
Many ways to do this.

One way is to use a driver backup program.

DriverBackup! (free)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/

Driver Magician ($29.95)
http://www.drivermagician.com/

Driver Genius ($29.95)
http://www.driver-soft.com/

Another way is to just clone your old drive to your new drive. This
probably requires an USB enclosure for the second drive (under 20
bucks). You can clone it with:

Paragon DriveBackup Express 9 (free)
http://www.drive-backup.com/

You can only the drivers from the old drive too. But they are scattered
all over the place in the Windows directory. It is a real PIA this way.
But it can be done. The folders you will likely need are:

\Windows\Inf
\Windows\Driver Cache\i386
\Windows\system32
\Windows\system32\drivers

And probably many more. Hopefully somebody else can add to this list if
you want to go this route.

Or of course they are all available for download from the HP site as noted
above. Grab them on another PC and drop them onto a thumb drive. You could
also get them off your old drive, just buy one of the cheap 2.5 inch cases
and install your drive in that, plug in the USB cable and away you go.

Cheers.
