Drive failed now mounted as slave how to recover db's??

[Eric Haskins]

I had a server lose a drive. This customer didnt back his database. I
mounted old failing drive as a slave and can see .frm .MYI & .MYD But if I
copy them to /var/lib/mysql/db_name it says .frm doesnt exist ???? How do I
fix this????

Since no one answered, I'll see if I can help.

First, charge outrageous amounts of money for this. If someone doesn't
back up his data, too bad for him. It's a linux system, how hard is it
to set up a cron job?!? Anyway...

I just copied a database without any problems (I thought it would be
more difficult).

Are you sure the destination files, including the directory, have the
correct owner, group, and permissions?
