Hi

As the topic states my computer crashed, so I had to reinstall it.
I created a new database.. Is there a way to recover my old one, and link them together to get a complete one?

Reimport the original handhistories from your old archive folder, C:/HMArchive into the new database.

Or reinstall PostgreSQL to the same folder as your old PostgreSQL installation and (PostgreSQL version must be the same are the same, and both must use the same /data folder) and you should be able to connect to the old database.

All my previous hand histories are gone. Was not able to save anything.
I guess holdem manager, and postgreSQL are in the same folder. Installed pressing next on all installation steps

Ask room support for HHs.

So what did you save exactly of the harddisk of the crashed computer?
Your entire old PostgreSQL folder?

Check if you have multiple subfolders in Program Files/PostgreSQL/
Reinstall PostgreSQL to the subfolder that has the old database.

On which pokersite did you play most of your hands?
If PokerStars/PartyPoker/FullTilt, email their support and they can sent you the handhistories for every hand you've ever played.

Nothing. Everything is completely gone
Installed a clean version of holdem manager / postgres

I played on a small site called pokermambo, on the entraction network. Might be able to ask them to send me the handhistories though. Good idea
