Default HELP backing up db on dead machine

we're having a bit of a problem with one of out machines' hard drives--
which happens to be running mysql. It's os x 10.3 server and running
apple's default install of mysql. The mysql server is no longer
operational and we're simply trying to pull our database files from
the drive before we perform a low-level reformat of the bad drive. Can
someone help me locate these files and also, would they have the table
structures embedded along with them so that we could easily recreate
the db structure and records on another machine. Help would be GREATLY
appreciated--thanks!
