Things dont just vanish that easy, have you even started your moodle server to come to conclusion that all your moodle data just gone leaving your operating system and all other things intact?

In addition to Usman's comments, you have given us no idea on how you installed, what you installed on (operating sytem etc). In order to help, we need a lot more information.

Emma, as I remember, she had installed Windows Installer package nearly a month ago, on her Windows 7 machine.

She must have forgot to start moodle as when she re-started her PC assuming everything will start with PC re-start.

Good thing you have a good memory Usman!  

When you rebooted your computer, did you open up the WAMP server and start the Moodle server?

Are you certain it showed error about database? have you installed any other database on top later on? if it is database issue, then I can only think of you installing some other database that have taken port that were being used by MySQL, so now it is not running.

Once you have opened XAMPP panel, have you seen Apache and MySQL running?

have you played with your SQL files and/or your config.php?

what DB are you trying to import?

Try selecting DB is left hand pane, and export it, create a new DB in PhpMyAdmin and then import your exported DB to see if that works.

Re-start installation? what you mean by that?

you shouldn't be restarting installation from scratch for no apparent reason, if your moodle was running fine, all you had to do is run moodle and use it as before. If it started re-install, means your moodle config.php file must have removed or altered.
