My former host on another server made back-ups with all of the database files in a folder, but no .sql file. How do I turn a folder of MYI and MYD files into a restored database on my server?

Any help would be appreciated.

If all the files are intact an not corrupted, you should be able to re-create the database, then copy all the files into the database folder, IE: /var/lib/mysql/my_database/

the copy all the *.MYI and *.MYD files into the new database folder. You may need to run some checks on all tables, to make sure everything is intact and all indices are working,..etc.
