Good day, everyone.

I replaced my original 1TB Apple Hitachi rotating drive with a new 1TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD in my mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro 9,1.

I did a clean install of Mavericks onto the new drive. I thought I'd copied everything from my Bootcamp partition on the old drive, but it turns out that I didn't grab my bookmarks from Firefox in Windows 7. I know where they are and how they're stored, so I just need to grab the file.

Here's the kicker. I thought I could mount the old drive with a universal storage adapter, but OS X is reporting that it can't mount. Am I missing something? I thought I could simply mount the drive, browse the Bootcamp partition, and grab the file.

Short of putting the drive back in, booting, and grabbing or exporting that way, can't I just mount the drive externally? I can't mount from either OS X or Windows (booted directly or in VM Fusion).
