migrating database files from 5.0 to 5.1 (Windows 7)

I'm in the need of moving data files from a C:\program files (x86)\mysql\MySQL Server 5.0\data into a MySQL Server 5.1 installation.

The problem is that the 5.0 server isn't accessible any longer and the only "backup" I have is these data files.

I installed the 5.1 (64 bit) server now on the target machine but my question is,
how I coould move the data files into the new server. I'd be afraid copying them just to \ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\data and restart the server.

I'd guess that there is some configuration information somewhere which has to be
filled in.
