I accidently droped one of my databases in mysql control center and I thought I could just restore my backup but it only seems to restore the structure and some of the data.
To restore my database I just copied all the files in the data/databasename folder from a backup I had burned to cd. This seemed to work ok but I tried to select from the tables I was receiving the error on some of them:
ERROR 1016: Can't open file: 'forum_users.MYI'. (errno: 130)
So I tried repairing these tables but they only seem to be able to restore the structure I tried running myisamcheck -r
myisamchk: error: 'c:\mysql\data\database\table.MYI' is not a MyISAM-table
Even though they are myISAM tables, And mysqlcheck -r unichat which gives me
error : Can't open file: 'forum_themes.MYI'. (errno: 130)
Could my files have been corrupted when they got burnt to cd? Strange how I can restore some of the tables though just a few that I can't.
What else can I do besides mysqlcheck and myisam check I've tried all the different options with them but nothing works.
HELP! thanks
I'm using winxp and mysql 4.0.16
