Why can opera not import its own bookmarks?!

I had a disk corruption. I have a fresh install of windows. Fresh install of Opera. Why is it so hard to get my bookmarks back? I found the file on the old disk d:\users\peter\appdata\roaming\opera software\opera stable\bookmarks but when I copy it to the same location on c:, opera still sees no bookmarks.

And seriously? When I try to import, it can only import from other browsers and not it's own file?!

@hucker There is nothing in opera://bookmarks?

@hucker Under normal circumstances, no browser would be importing from itself. With Opera closed, you ought to be able to just overwrite the new file with the old one.

i think you have to copy the bookmarks file to
"Default" folder.
