OK. Fact is, your bookmarks file is tucked away in your profile folder. Most installations take place in your Program Files folder so I can't see what may have caused the temporary disappearance of your bookmarks. I would imagine the only possible cause would be that the file couldn't be accessed because it was in use at the time, with what? No idea!

You might want to run Crap Cleaner - or whatever utility you may have (ie Glary or Sys Mech) - to clean up the Registry and remove any files the partial installation may have left behind.
