Hello.
> i'm having a backup of the entire drive, but no dump. In what way have you done the backup of the drive? Do you have an archive with files from the corrupted drive or a raw image (snapshot) of the file system? If you have an archive you can just copy the data directory to the new system. However, both old and new systems and versions of MySQL should be compatible. For more details see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Moving.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrading-to-arch.html If you have a snapshot, extract the MySQL data directory from the image and do as it was described before.
