WampServer

I recently had one of my clients lose a hardrive on the machine that I had installed a MySQL database for them. The operating system went completely, but I have managed to retrieve the folder containing my database from the MySQL folder in wamp.

If I reinstall wamserver on the machine, is it straightforward to place this databse folder where it should be or is it more difficult than that?

Help...!

Best regards

Rick

I found this tutorial : [www.buildcms.com]..
Hope this help..

EDIT : Don't forget to make a copy of your data and to close mysql service (or wamp) before you make recovery tests.

Thanks for that...but the tutorial seems to assume that you have a server running with the database you need to recover...I have reinstalled MySQL so I do have a server running, but the database is in the old set of folders...

And I am not an expert at this at all...

Okay,
So I have just two questions :
Which version of mysql did you use for your datas ?
Did you use InnoDB tables or just MyISAM ?
