 * Here is my situation:
    I had a complete wordpress site on local host (xampp),
   but my hard drive was damaged and it’s not bootable. If data recovery company
   manage to sate the xampp folder, is there any way I can import wordpress on another
   computer?
 * Thanks for your answers in advance!

 * You’ll need both the files (primarily wp-content/uploads) and the database.
