Copying single account from slave drive?

After a recent OS corruption, my server has been reloaded with a fresh OS and cPanel. The previous hard drive, although no longer bootable, is still readable and has now been mounted as a slave.

It appears to me that that the cPanel migration scripts are designed to use backed up data only.

Is there a script that will grab an existing user folder from a local hard drive and properly migrate it back into cPanel?

Thank you in advance,
Tim

Just to clarify, you can read and copy the data but you cannot run any commands on that drive, right? If so and there are no existing backups, you'd need to manually copy the data instead. The only way to get the data into a packaged account is to be able to run /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct username from command line.
