The disk drive on my Windows XP/SP3 PC suffered a hard crash. Most of system32 got trashed, including the registry backups, so I am no longer able to boot. Windows recover and rescue utils both crash to blue screen. I also got behind in doing backups/archives of my HEM database.
Fortunately, most of the data files in other areas seem okay. I can mount the drive as a data drive in a separate PC and copy files out.
My question is, is there any way for me to recover the postgres DB files, transfer them to the other PC, and get my HEM data back? Where are the postgres DB files located normally? What files would I need to grab? Would copying the entire Postgres folder out of Program Files be sufficient? Anything else I need? Once I have the files, what do I do in Postgres on the other PC to load up the DB files?
There is about 10 months worth of hands in the DB that I'd like to save, if possible.
Thanks.
