Daevid, 

--The logfiles are the same size so I assume that's configured right? 

They should be.  If you copied the file over, mysql isn't going to 
increase/decrease the size of the file (because it already exists).  I suspect 
that you didn't save the old my.cnf file.

The only other question I have is why is the "New" file smaller than the 
original. innodb doesn't shrink files to the best of my knowledge (or at least, 
it hasn't for me) -- or did you mean that the top one is the new, and the 
bottom one is the old..

So, looking a little harder at your files, I bet you tried to start myself 
against the USB device directly, on the first try, it failed, so you copied the 
data over to the local disk and you have been trying to recover it since.  I 
say that because the time stamp on the usb (new or old ones) but have July 14th 
as the dates...

I think as others have mentioned, the startup recovery flags might be your best 
bet.

The logfiles are the same size so I assume that's configured right?
