And in the "Just Pissy" Category...

... Scandisk appears to have eaten my bookmarks file during a recovery from a computer crash.

DAMMIT.

If you use Firefox, it keeps the bookmark file in two places... for just such an emergency.

The new box, which doesn't work, would have used Firefox.

Did you ever export the bookmarks to some other location?

Have you checked to see if the file was not merely renamed and left in a dumping ground of "lost" files... like what Scandisk does with orphaned file blocks.

Not knowing how your disk recovery program works, I dunno what it does with the files it can't find, or finds but in broken state. (Ignore, overwrite, try to fix, or truncate and so on)

I think I backed up the thing somewhere, months ago...

... but I don't know which disk.

Aw, dude! I wish I could help you out with your computer and fiscal problems. I can say that I'm wishing for the best for you.
