Do you mean that on previous tries MySQL wouldn't work either, or that it now 
refuses to open the database that worked correctly before?

Well, the mysql.err mentions corrupt datafiles. Also, as a possible cause it 
mentions the presence of files created during an earlier run that crashed or 
was forcibly terminated (user intervention, power failure, ...).
