And this is why you have backups :-)

You have little guarantee that the recovered blocks form complete files, but
you can try to move them into the directory (with the correct mdi, myd and
frm extensions and named consistently, of course) and try to figure out what
contains which data from the contents of the tables.

The first challenge, however, is going to be matching the correct .frm file
to the correct .myd and .mdi. I guess you could skip the .mdi files, as
they're just indices, that'll make the job slightly easier at least.

Keep the originally recovered files, too, just in case MySQL tries to write
to some of them and corrupts them.

I hope you enjoy puzzles...
