Hi to all!!

I have a big problem which regards to my MySQL Database.
I want to recover all the data from my database but the problem is that i cannot find it.

For you guys to understand, here's the scenario

I have a computer which has the Windows XP 64 bit OS and contains the MySQL Database which is being corrupted and I installed a new Windows XP 64 bit but never formatted the old OS.

My question is that:

How can i run the old MySQL Database and get the backup of the data?

Take note: My OS is Windows XP 64bit

Thanks for the help guys....

obviously the first thing you should do is backup your system now - lest anything else you do exacerbates the issue

I'd read this https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-installation-layout.html[^] and see if you can find any of the data files, OR, do a disk search for my.ini and have a look at that - iirc that file outlines where the data is stored... once you can ascertain if the data is there somewhere you can go on - this has a few hints on recovering for ISAM and InnoDB files, different OS, technique should be the same http://stackoverflow.com/questions/484750/restoring-mysql-database-from-physical-files[^]

Im guessing you dont have a restore point or backup before you re-installed the OS ?
Did you install the OS into the same location as the original ?
