I had a PC crash that is running Mysql 5.0 32bit on vista 64bit machine.
Now the MYSQL service will not start.!!!
The innodb is a very large ibdata1 at 24.2 gigs. stored on a mirrored 1TB D drive.
the ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 are stored on the C drive under
C:\MYSQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data
I am afraid that if I reinstall mysql that I will loose this data???
Is there a way to reinstall mysql and address the same database with out damaging it or loosing it?
HELP... with a step by step procedure would really be great!!
Ideally I would like to set op a dedicated Ubuntu 10.04 server with only MySQL to prevent this in the future. Windows is just not stable enough for me considering all I do with this machine.
Is there anyway I can install mysql on ubuntu and just copy the innodb and ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 to a directory on ubuntu and put this back together???
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks so much
Jim
