Help! I Deleted a MySQL table I created in wordpress, now i've got problems

[Drexden]

when I go to my blog (which used to work great) I get two messages, intermittently . . .

1 - "It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."

2 - "Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@drexdavis.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

Prior to getting these messages, I did three things, but I'm not sure which one jacked things up.

The one I think most probably screwed it up . . . First, I had created a new table in my mysql database (it was for a plugin I was going to install). I then installed the plugin, but it only partially worked. Igot tired of trying to make it work, so I deleted the plugin, and I deleted the table I had created in the database. I only deleted the table I had added for the plug-in . . .

The other two things I did were to modify plug-ins (i.e. Hello Dolly), but I don't think that would've caused this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks

As a last resort, you can download a backup of your db from within OPs > Packages > Web Site > Mysql tab (at the bottom of that page), pick a date prior to the problems, using phpmyadmin, drop all of your tables in your WP db and import the backup sql.

This would reset the db back to the date of the backup file that you chose, which would mean that any changes after that date would no longer exist (including posts).
