I used to run the game from an external hard drive when I played on a laptop, If you can get it hooked up to have access to those files it should be fine.

If you're setting the new HDD up as your boot drive and using the old one as a data drive, you should be able to simply copy the entire RoM program folder from the old drive to the new one. RoM doesn't write anything to the Windows Registry so this isn't an issue. You will also need to do the same thing with the hidden RoM data folder if you're going this route.
