I am trying to recover my MySQL database from a tape backup from a few days ago. I haven't done a MySQL Backup from within MySQL for a while, I was just backing up the entire MySQL folder to tape. The service is running on Windows Server 2008 version of MySQL is 5.5.

I restored the directory "MySQL Server 5.5" to another location. I stopped the MySQL55 service from within the Service.msc. I renamed the "Live/Production" copy of the "MySQL Server 5.5" folder to a temporary name, then copied the restored folder to the location of MySQL. The MySQL service won't start I get a 1067 Error. I removed the restored folder, renamed the Production folder back to the correct name, and was able to start the service. Is there a way to get the service to start with this "restored" version of the folder?
