title: MySQL table recovery from crashed server
body: <p>I managed to wipe a server by mistake but PhotoRec was kind enough to recover the .frm and .myi files from the hard drive. I now have a desktop set up with the same version of MySQL to recover the data but my question is: what do I do? I have about 160 of these files. I haven't yet reinstalled the server in case I need anything else.</p>
  
  <p>Also, as I'm using PhotoRec, it doesn't provide the original filenames. If this is important, how can I get the raw data out of the files and manually rebuild the database?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I managed to get ahold of the PhotoRec source and add the capability to recover the .myd files (which a bit of digging reveals to be the actual data files), but I can't get the thing to compile, and it ain't because of my mods! Can anyone help with a 'No rule to make target' error in PhotoRec? file_http.o's the culprit.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Rob</p>
