Copying your old system files, directories to a new drive is not the same as reinstalling OSX on the new drive. Once you install OSX, the OS expects folders/drives to be on a certain volume in a specific location (the startup volume). Since your have changed this by moving the files to the new volume things will no longer work as expected.

Your going to need to backup any user specific data to your old drive, reinstall OSX on the new volume and then copy your specific data back to the new drive.
