recently my PC powered off abruptly for no apparent reason, leaving my Windows 7 installation severly damaged. I can still log onto the machine, but tons of Windows system files have been corrupted and I have no other choice than performing a repair install of Windows.
At the same time, my MySQL 5.5.31 instance running on this system has been damaged. I am not sure if it's just the MySQL installation that got damaged, or the data itself. What I can say is that while the serve was certainly running during the shutdown, it did not perform any tasks at that time.
What happens now is that when I try to run mysqldump from MySQL Workbench, it aborts after a couple of tables saying that it has lost the connection to the server.
Most tables are InnoDB, a few MyISAM.
How can I repair the installation and recover my data? Should I uninstall and re-install?
Appreciate your help.
EDIT: These are the two errors I get from the error event log in MySQL Workbench: "InnoDB: Page checksum 3072680322, prior-to-4.0.14-form checksum 1925954319 InnoDB: stored checksum 24388168, prior-to-4.0.14-form stored checksum 1077079361 InnoDB: Page lsn 3225980244 611338381, low 4 bytes of lsn at page end 2304517124 InnoDB: Page number (if stored to page already) 2370756659, InnoDB: space id (if created with >= MySQL-4.1.1 and stored already) 4293596229"
