title: Importing old mysql data folder
body: <p>After a reinstall, all of the old data still shows inside the MySQL/data folder, but is not actually loaded into the database.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to have MySQL scan it's data folder and / or reimport the old folders it has from its previous install?</p>
  
  <p>[Some data was changed after the last backup / export - partially my fault - so I would rather it recognize the folders rather than reimporting the SQL files.]</p>
