hi!

sorry for the strange topic.
However this is the case. My computer crashed so I didnt have time to backup my database. However, it was only the operativesystem that got corrupted. So I have rescued the entire postgreSQL folder.

How can I now reinstall holdemmanager and postgreSQL and then still have my database alive?

cheers

Can you also still save your old archive folder: C:/HMArchive??

You have a 50% chance, if you only saved your PostgreSQL folder.
Copy back the PostgreSQL/data folder to C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL//data

Then reinstall PostgreSQL to that folder with the 8.4.x installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org).

With some luck it detects the old database, and you can connect to it again when the installation is finished.
