How can I get a database out of a Windows 7 MySQL Database stored on a backup hard drive?

I had a catastrophic drive failure on my development machine. Fortunately I have a backup of everything.

I just installed WAMP for the first time, and it seems to be working in windows 7 x64 (after the fresh install on a new drive). Now I need to get access to the databases I had stored on the backup drive..I don't have .sql dump files.

Does anyone know how I can get a database export from the MySQL folder I have on my backup drive?

Thanks!

A simple copy of files and folders located in MySQL data directory should do the trick (as long as MySQL versions are the same).
