The data is stored in c:/xampp/mysql/data

You can try to copy the whole folder into a new Xampp installation (rename the data folder of the new installation before) - if the data is not corrupted, you have a good chance to get it back into the new Xampp installation. If your mysql server does not run due to corrupted data, there is no chance to do so.
