So yesterday i preinstalled my windows xp, but before that i have moved data folder from (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2) to D: hard drive, now after preinstall, i installed PostgreSQL\8.2, and moved the data folder back in (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2 apparently HEM doesnt seems to recognize my old databases, what i have to do?

You need to uninstall PostgreSQL, which will leave behind your data folder with all your database files, then reinstall it but when you get to the installation screen where it asks for the username and password for the 2nd time untick the "Initialise Database Cluster" tickbox and then finish the installation and it should be fine.

Not sure havent seen that error before, did you copy all the files correctly. Maybe try repeating the installation again

Yes, all the files are copied correctly, preinstalled and installed postgres 3 or 4 times. :(
