 * Hello!
 * I had wordpress running on one PC and the Hard Drive died some time ago…
 * I had a copy of the blog directory, but only that.
 * Now I have installed a new Apache server and wordpress in a differente computer.
   So here comes the question:
 * Is there any possibility of recovery my old and lovely blog to this new computer????
   I do not know almost anything about MySQL and I do not know how to recover (if
   possible) the database of my old blog.
 * If anybody can help me I would really apreaciate.
 * Thank you very much in advance
 * Manuel

 * If you mean a .sql file you can import it. Unless you saved the database dump
   somehow, I do not see you recovering the old blog info.
    Maybe have someone try
   to extract the hard drive contents?

 * All your posts are stored on the database which you say you didn’t have so sorry
   but the answer is no you can’t recover it.
