Ok, it's probably not so weird. I'm sure somebody knows exactly why this is happening. Here's the deal. I did a clean install of windows 8. More than once this has happened. I formatted the hard drive, deleting all partitions, using a windows 7 disk. Then, using a windows 8 disk, I went into the advanced tools, command prompt, once again deleted and cleaned all partitions using diskpart, formatted the single partition on the drive, did a clean install of windows 8, started up IE, and BAM, my favorites are already there without having to import them. Most of my settings as well. There are no hidden or recovery partitions, I've made sure of this. I'm installing from disk, not from an image. How in the hell is this possible. I've been working with windows installations since pretty much version 3.5 so I'm not green but this has me baffled. Any insights? Thanks.
