Actually you should be able to do that, and it is quite advisable. I assume/guess that 
the error code returned with your error message is actually '126'.
Looking it up with perror, I get:
126 = Index file is crashed / Wrong file format
If this is correct, it would be nice to ran a myisamchk to check on your indeces and 
then try again.
