RE: getting database back after a disaster + no back-ups

Others may be able to advise you better, but assuming your MySQL data
folder is intact, I would just copy that safely somewhere else, install
the same version of MySQL, then copy the contents of the saved data
folder into the data folder created by the new install. I think you may
find you have everthing back again.

Subject: getting database back after a disaster + no back-ups

Hi,
A strange one here, my windows 2003 server died, but i have managed to
get access to all the drive, i had mysql 5.0 installed on it. The issue
was caused by incompatible hardware, so 2003 will not go onto the
machine. I've managed to put a partition on  + boot into windows 2000,
is there anyway i can get my old mysql database back?



thanks

Mark
