Got the database up onto the new server. Could see the forum running as well.
Then when I ran the command "myisamchk -r *.MYI", all tables got corrupted.
Now, when I run "mysqlcheck -r -u USERNAME -p DATABASENAME", it shows the following for ALL tables.
Error : Incorrect information in file: './database/table.frm'
error : Corrupt
How did .frm got corrupt for all tables??

ALRIGHT..
So, I tried everything again. Reuploaded the backup, ran a mysqlcheck, then a myisamchk, and all went FINE.
mysqlcheck -r -u USERNAME -p DATABASENAME
myisamchk -r /path/to/database/dir/*.MYI
mysqlcheck -r -o USERNAME -p DATABASENAME
I can now see all tables being optimised quickly! and all show "Table is already upto date" after running optimization a couple of times. I also found 5 tables named something like aggregrate_temp_12515 etc. I deleted all 5.
Looking great uptill now.
Thanks

I finally took the backup of the FINE TUNED database and got it up. Everything working as expected. See I told you all it was a database issue
