The folder ibdata is empty. no such thing like ibdata1 exists. Concerning changing the ownership/permission ... I'm running Windows ME no file share activated so there is no option to change the permission etc.
Do you know what those codes mean... operating error number 3 and the 011220 Where can I get information about them ? I still believe something got screwed up on Windows ME level. > Innodb:operating system error number 3 in a file operation. > Innodb: Error in creating or opening c:\mysql\data\ibdata\ibdata1 > Innodb: Could not open data files > 011220 Can't init databases.
