Make a copy of mysql/backup folder and name it as mysql/data 3. Copy all your database folders from mysql/data_old into mysql/data (except mysql, performance_schema, and phpmyadmin folders) 4. Copy mysql/data_old/ibdata1 file into mysql/data folder 5. Start MySQL from XAMPP control panel If you feel anything not working, always welcome to Being Technical. Do comments and we will help you.
