restore database

I ran into an error upgrading to 1.5 from a beta and ended up deleting everything and starting over. Before clearing out the database I backed it up using vDeck’s backup feature which has created a zip for me with 3 different file types inside. There are FRM’s MYD’s and MYI’s…when I try to use vDeck’s RESTORE database feature it doesn’t work. Also, going into phpMyAdmin and restoring the zip from there doesnt work either.

Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be appreciated. (Should I have thought to do a backup from WITHIN phpMyAdmin? Yes, I should have…but moving on…)
