Honestly you have a mess on your hands on a number of different levels. I'd be
tempted to just try copying the tables files directly between the two
directories if you can matchup the files on disk correctly. Otherwise you
might be forced to try and get some filesystem level tools going, but I'm not
sure how feasible that is on windows, especially on such an old version.
Good luck.
