The day before yesterday my hard drive has died (MBR could not be read; all attempts to recover it proved to be futile).
All right, I was smart enough to back up all my data regularly (that included even system partition, just in case), so I did not loose any thing. So far so good.
However, there is one thing that I may have lost. I am talking about tabs opened in Chrome (I belong to category of people who like to have a lot of tabs opened).
It looks like there is a way to recover the tabs (the whole profile, actually, but I care about tabs only). It is described here. It requires exporting/importing a specific registry key, though (copying the «User data» directory is not enough, I have tried). So here comes the question: can I access the registry of my Windows 7 backup?
