Cor,

Have you tried it with InnoDB tables or anything other than MyISAM 
tables? InnoDB uses a single tablespace per server (unless specified 
that it should use a file per table, but then it still uses a general 
tablespace), so renaming a directory or folder will probably only 
confuse InnoDB and prevent it from starting.
