Restoring using the Profile Files from the PRevious Partition might help.

Path to Profile is
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

How to add old Profile to new Firefox Installation
In the Run dialog, enter the following:
firefox.exe -ProfileManager

try using MozBackup

it automatically detects installed Mozilla sws and gives you the option of backing up profiles, pws included
