why un-install, then re-install, then restore the database and the albums folder? What should be the point of that. Don't re-install, just re-upload all files from the coppermine package as if you were doing an upgrade.
If you insist on re-installing, you will have to backup the albums folder and everything within it and make a dump of your coppermine tables in the database. After re-installing, you will have to restore both. Like I said: will make no difference, and you'll need medium to good skills, e.g. using phpMyAdmin or similar. Judging from your previous postings and the skills you appear to have, I wouldn't recommend that.
