It would help for this sort of question if you said what OS you are using:
the answer will vary with OS.
Normally, you copy files from. to the <mysql home directory>/data/<database
name> directory: on most Windows installations, this will be
c:\mysql\data\<database name>. If you cannot find this, searching for files
with the extension .MYI on the old disk might well find them for you.
