I usually use this tool to export and import Opera settings between browsers:

It works for both Windows and Linux

If you only want the feed list, just go to Menu > Settings > Import and Export > Export feed list on the old install. And on the new one, just use "import feed list".

Note that it will not export the contents of the feeds but only the list of feeds.

since reinstalling, when i get on the slave drive and click on the opera icon, it brings up a new window in the newly installed opera. it doesn't open the older opera install. so i wanna know where the file that stores the rss feed list.
i've pretty much everything from the older install but the rss feed list which i forgot to move by importing and exporting.

Try to use your operating system's search function and find a file called opera-newsfeeds.opml

Locate the old 'local appdata' folder, it depends on your Windows version how those folders are named exactly. Just copy the whole Opera\Opera\mail\ folder inside this local appdata folder to the new location, see 'Help > About Opera' what location that is for the easiest migration. The subscribed feeds are not stored in an opml file (until you export manually of course), but are part of the data in the mail folder, and can not be easily lifted separately from the files there.

I exported each one of my feed site and it generates a mbs.file. I see unfortunately for a while is impossible to import the feed content, even for update the same feed you use in another opera installation. But if I put that mbs files in a folder in the mail folder, is it possible to "simulate" a feed with all the content?

@ozoratsubasa You can import mbs files into a mail account (using the import functionality, not by placing files in folders), but there's no way to import 'into' the subscribed feeds.
