Computer which hosted a database crashed, but I managed to save "data" 
folder. I copied it to another computer and pointed postgres to that folder 
(stopping the service first). But, the service cannot start. Progress bar 
just goes for awhile, and then a pop-up tells me that the service stopped.

I found in Services that command for starting the service is this

"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin\pg_ctl.exe" runservice -w -N 
"pgsql-8.2" -D "f:\PostgreSQL\data\"

I tried to start it from command line with

"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin\pg_ctl.exe" start -w -D 
"f:\PostgreSQL\data\"

and it works. The server starts and I can connect to it and access all 
tables. But I need it to start as a service. Any help? I'm using version 
8.2.5 on WinXP Pro SP2.
