i tried through phpmyadmin like the above link says, and it doesnt seem to work might be as my database is around 2.5mb....

please elaborate on Not working part .. what errors do you get if any ..

dose your original ( back up ) use table prefixes ? what about new database tables ??

[braiden1]

i will try again tommorrow when i am at work, though the page just comes up blank, get a big list of red errors or it gives some other error ( will post them here when i retry it)

No prefix on the tables.

Create a new database..... Then paste your dump incrementally in the SQL tab for larger databases.
