Recovering Opera from another HDD

I have a situation at work where my PC has been upgraded. I share the PC with about 5 other people where the PC is managed by an IT group, I was lucky enough to have an admin password and could install Opera. Now the problem is since I was away over the last few days this new PC has replaced our old one and I didn't get a chance to back up my opera settings.

They have taken the HDD from the old PC out and connected it for a week for people to grab anything off it, I'm wondering If I can copy my Opera files off the HDD and use them on the new PC if I can get Opera installed?

My problem is I'm not exactly sure what files I need to recover and where they are. I want the tabs, passwords, bookmarks and speed dial settings.

Copy the following two directories.
%APPDATA%\Opera
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera
