Did you use mysqldump to save your databases? It is *highly* recommended
that you do that instead of just copying the database files over. This
way, you can just dump all the data back in and mysql will take care of
everything :)
If not, you can tell mysqld where to look for its databases:
-h, --datadir=path Path to the database root
