 * Hi all
 * Hoping someone can help me.
 * i’ve been running wampserver locally on my computer with wordpress and annoyingly
   my pc died. i need to be able to get the site back up and running on another 
   computer and i understand this is easy to do with the wordpress files and the
   sql backup file which you get when exporting the database from phpmyadmin. however
   unfortunately i do not have such a file
 * Is there any way i can retrieve the database and have the website the way it 
   was just from the files i had on my hard drive at the time.
