Problems with innoDB files

I am a novice user of MySQL so please excuse my ignorance.

I recently installed MySQL and have a third party tool using it to
update data in a database.

Recently it started creating erorr messages:

table.innoDB missing

Looking at the database in phpMyAdmin the table affected is marked as
in use. Trying to get in reports the error again.

This problem seems to have only affected 2 out of the three 3 tables.
I have tried flushing the tables, restarting mysql, dropping the
tables, restarting the computer and restoring from a backup and I
still keep getting the same errors.

I also did a search of my hard disk and found not one single *.innoDB
file, so I suspect I am missing something fundamental.

Can anyone help me, I am rather confused?

Thanks.

please look in the .err log of mysqld.

You probably have the .frm files of the tables left, but have recreated the
ibdata file(s), so that the actual tables inside InnoDB do not exist any
more. If that is the case, you can just delete the .frm files of those
tables.
