Your computer probably sees no pressing need to change the application
it launches for a given creator code because the applications on your
new disk are the same (and have the same modification date) as those
on the old disk. It would probably re-evaluate this supposition if you
were to prevent the old disk from mounting at startup. I'm not sure
whether a rebuild of the desktop would also be necessary. Once it
determines where the "new" applications are you should be able to
start up as usual.

A useful method to avoid the "Where is...?" dialog is to place an alias
in your Script Editor's folder for each of your applications (useing the
same names).
