I've had to install a new HD (old one blue sceened) I can browse the old drive and see Mozilla. But I want the bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve them?

When my old HD crashed, Tried to do a repair install on Windows XP PRO. But it would not repair the problem, so I had to re-install Windows, as well as most of my programs. Firefox included. I did this on a fresh new HD, so I could copy any program files from the old one. Most of the files came across, but I lost all of my bookmarks from Firefox. I do have some saved from my IE6 Favorites folder, but the import function seems to be for browsers only on the same drive. Mozilla really needs to create a Bookmarks folder so we can copy and paste from one drive to another.
