MyISAM (Score:1)
The MySQL database is made up of MyISAM tables.
And, you *should* be able to copy that folder [paragon-cs.com] from another install and then restart MySQL. (correct version [mysql.com], of course)
However, you will most likely need to start MySQL with --skip-grant-tables.
That should get you running well enough to dump everything safely and reinstall.

Expensive lesson learned. :)
