The Win 7 computer that I use has 3 hard drives. on the first drive is the OS, the second has all my programs installed on it, and the third just has files. The OS drive has just died but the others are still good, so I'm getting a new drive for the OS. Is there any way to save my old bookmark or are they lost with the System drive. (the drive will spin up a bit but not for long before it crashes again so if it keeps the information on the system drive with your profile and not with the installation I may be able to retrieve it.)
