uninstalled wamp, lost databse, how to recover..

[zyaday]

Few ago, my network admin had to uninstall WAMP which contained all my important database, and later on he installed the WAMP again. But I can not find the data base I used before he uninstalled it. and I am assuming it must have gone lost with the WAMP that was uninstalled. How can I recover the database..it has a lot of data.. please help..

Could you simply use Window's System Restore?

If he installed the WAMP on a new directory, then you might have some luck on finding your old databases under the old WAMP directory (your old MySQL installation folder). You have to check on your drive and if you found it, simple shut down mysql service and copy all the database files to your new WAMP folder.

If he overwritted the old installation! God bless you!
