tibberous Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Windows got corrupted and won't boot so I need to get my database files off the drive. With mysql 4 this was as easy as grabbing the /data folder, but I was running MySQL Server 5.1.41 on XP32, which apparently doesn't have that folder. Any idea how I get my databases back?

tibberous Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 The databases were in D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\data http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-installation-layout.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siric Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Do a search on the drive for the name of the database. I am running 5.1 and my databases are stored in a data directory under the MySQL directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
