I would guess that it is this extension that is giving you trouble.
.war is an extension used by most Java application server to the
bundle of file that encapsulates a java application.  Why not just use
the .html extension?

Konqueror doesn't know how to open a war and run the java code.  The
question is why doesn't this happen on your original hard drive?  And
I don't know the answer.  But I bet if you rename them all .html your
problem would be solved.

Alternatively, you could try changing your file association so that
.war is associated with HTML files, and not with web archives.
