Hi Folks

So - while the solar PV lads were installing our new system, they
managed to short neutral and earth on the mains fuseboard and tripped
out the main house circuit-breaker.

This pc was running at the time, and wasn't amused - and refused to boot
afterwards.
All attempts to restore the 'bootability' of the hard drive failed -
so yesterday was a long session of using linux to copy the data off the
failed hard drive, and install Win 10 on a new hard drive.

Now going through the process of reinstalling programs..

Write-ups on the web talk about copying/exporting the profile from the
old installation of Chrome, and exporting a specific registry key to
make this work - but the original system isn't able to be run to do this
(the export..)

Any ideas or links please?

It wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't possible - but the old
Chrome setup knew all of the passwords, and re-educating it is going to
be a bit tedious!

Thanks
Adrian

Did your old install of chrome sign-in to a google account to sync stuff? If so
then sign the new one in and it ought to sync back ...

Once you have finished extracting all the data from the old disc, why
don't you simply do a windows repair installation on that drive? Chances
are good that windows will repair itself, and all will be back to normal.

Thanks - but this is the third time this particular hard drive has
played silly bu&&ers with me - the last two times, various 'Lazarus'
techniques were used to get it to wake up - but I think it's probably
past saving...

Linux could see the data on the disk (and salvage it) - but no utilities
that I could find would make it bootable this time...
