JamieS1211 on "Database recovery error"

Hi, I have been using wordpress for about 1 year now, due to a hard drive failure my linux installation we ruined and I couldn't boot the system to back up any of my files etc. Fortunately on a second (graphical) installation I was able to copy and back up all of the database files from the mysql database and all the wordpress files from the www directory. Armed with a brand new SSD I reinstalled linux, got the same version of mysql (5.5). I stopped the mysql server, replaced all the files and set them to the mysql user and then rebooted the mysql database. I am faced with this when I start and restart.

root@Xeon:/home/mc# service mysql restart
[ ok ] Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
[ ok ] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld ..
[info] Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were
not closed cleanly..
root@Xeon:/home/mc# ERROR 1017 (HY000) at line 1: Can't find file: 'wordpress_usermeta' (errno: 2)
ERROR 1017 (HY000) at line 1: Can't find file: 'wordpress_users' (errno: 2)

Despite this the wordpress_users.frm and wordpress_usermeta.frm files are both there. I have tried a countless number of different recommended things such as "mysqlcheck -u root -p --auto-repair --all-databases" however when I run this command my output is this.

This suggests that none of the files are being located even when they are present. I have also changed file permissions to 777 and they do belong to the mysql user on my server and the files in the www directory have now been changed to 777 in a hopeful attempt to. What should I do? is there some way to export database files into a wordpress file to import into a fresh wordpress install as I have done that before? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
