How to recover Firefox 3.5 bookmarks after upgrade to Windows 7 from XP

I updated my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. It creates a folder called windows.old, but I am unable to locate the old Firefox bookmarks profile. Where can I locate this or was it deleted in the upgrade?

"Copy the file bookmarks.html from

C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<old profile>\

to

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<new profile>\"

"You can restore everything by just copying your previous profile from

C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

to

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

. Then, edit the file profiles.ini

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/XXX.default

Replace XXX.default with the name of the profile folder."
