 * Hi there,
 * Well i had a crappy week 🙁 the hard disk of my own server died on me and i didnt
   make back ups of my databases, yea i know im a dumbass but thats not the issue.
 * Thank god that it wasnt the disk with my home directorys. So all the files of
   my blog are still there, but i dont have a database anymore. Is there a easy 
   way to recover a standard database without doing the install? Does anybody have
   a sql dump of a empty wordpress database?
 * Or does anybody have other ideas?

 * Well you could just install another copy of WordPress into a new database and
   use that.
 * But really, since you lost your database, all you have to do is navigate to wp-
   admin/install.php
