I had a hard drive problem and could not run windows in the hard drive.I was able to copy the drive to another drive.

Now what I would like to do would be to find a file that has the bookmarks on that drive at included on the new hard drive.

Can this be done?

We would I find the files?

The bookmarks, along with the history is stored in a file called places.sqlite inside the profile folder. In Windows 7 the default location for the profile folder is: 

C:\Users\<Windows user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>

The profile folder name will typically be xxxxxxxx.default, where xxxxxxxx is a random set of characters. The profile folder is normally hidden, to display it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

With Firefox closed you can copy the places.sqlite file from this location into your current profile folder. You can recover more than just the bookmarks, for details see Recover important data from an old profile.
