do the DB folders still exist? if so back them up, reinstall Postgres (reinstalling XP probably wiped out either DLL's or registry entries) and relaunch it. don't have it initialize a DB on install

Romanos Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 9:37 PM To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: [GENERAL] Help me please... Please help me with this. I really need your advice as to how to retrieve the data in my postgresql database. I have postgresql installed in Windows XP platform five months ago. Just yesterday my OS bugged down and saying NTDLR is missing. What I did was I re-installed my OS. When I finished my installation I found out that I cannot access anymore my postgresql using PGAdmin III. What should I do to access my database and retrieve the important records in it? Unfortunately, I have not created a backup of it. Please help me. Thanks in advance and God bless...
