MySQL Recovery

[crozland23]

For some reason, I have accidentally uninstalled my XAMPP and forgot to back-up my MySQL database. I badly need to recover my database, is there way that I can do it?

I have still the sql folder from my old xampp server but when I copied it to the new xampp directory, it says that #1932 - Table 'phpmyadmin.pma__tracking' doesn't exist in engine.

I hope someone could help me.

Thank you.

What is the sql folder? I dont know any sql folder in Xampp.

You need the full data folder (c:/xampp/mysql/data) of your old installation.
