Getting IE bookmarks from OS that will not boot

Hi.

I've been asked to help a friend whoose Windows ME has stopped working.
After loads of trouble trying to reinstall Windows, we gave up and transfered all the files to another drive and performed a clean install.
Is there any way of delving into the files of the old Windows ME and getting their internet favorites for transfer to the new OS.

Many thanks

Certainly - Favorites is just a folder containing sub-folders and shortcuts, nothing special. If the HD is connected, just browse to windows\favorites, and copy the folder to the windows folder the other HD. Standard windows-installed links may get overwritten, but that's no problem.

If using a floppy disk, use Winzip or Winrar, otherwise the favorites folder may be bigger than the floppy can hold, and it'll be a lot quicker.
