On my old Macbook pro I had a Windows 7 64bit Bootcamp partition. When I got my new Macbook pro I transferred the Bootcamp partition to the new computer with Winclone. Now when I try to boot into Windows 7 it immediately goes to the BSOD. I can however boot into that partition just fine using VMWare Fusion.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? My only guess is that it's either a driver issue or perhaps has something to do with the fact that I got the new Mac with a SSD.

This has nothing to do with the SSD, but rather the drivers. Your new MBP has a completely different chipset and CPU, which prevents Win 7 from loading. When installing Win 7, it makes a specific install for your specific hardware. When you are dealing with a different chipset/CPU, those "drivers" if you will are so low-level that they cannot be updated/modified.
You can try booting into safe mode. When your computer starts to boot into Win 7, hit F8 repeatedly. If the Windows boot logo comes up, you have waited too long. When you get to the menu, select Boot into Safe Mode from the list. It might allow you to boot into Windows, but I'm guessing you will still get a blue screen.
If that is the case, the only way to fix it is to do a fresh install of Win 7. Although you can try to boot from the Win 7 DVD and try a repair, in my experience, this will not work.
