I still have my old drive (with my old Windows install and everything else) hooked up, and I haven't deleted anything off it yet. Part of my plan for this upgrade was to just move stuff off the old drive and onto the new drive. For the most part, this has worked out OK. I've come to a bit of a roadblock when it comes to Firefox, though. In retrospect, it probably would have been simpler to just export my bookmarks to a file and then import them again when I reinstalled Firefox. But I figured that I could just go back and do it manually. The problem is that I can't find my old bookmarks. I know they have to be there [i]somewhere[/i] because nothing has been changed on the old drive. I tried looking through the old Documents and Settings folder, but no dice. I also tried searching for files named "bookmark," but came up with only the default bookmark file. It was easy to locate my IE bookmarks, but I'm stumped when it comes to FF. It would also be nice to find the list of extensions I had installed, as well as the list of feeds I had in Sage (more things I could have easily done beforehand, but didn't), but right now I just want my bookmarks back. Any advice for the galactically stupid? (Oh, and no, I can't boot up off the old drive. I tried it, but it gives me that scary bsod telling me that my computer is being shut down to prevent damage and that I will die within seven days. Or something like that. Of course, if anyone has any advice on how to boot up off the old drive, I suppose that would be helpful too.)
