I have no idea about Windows filesystems but you may be able to "undelete" the files, as long as you don't touch the partition for anything else; search the web for "undelete ntfs". Once you undelete you will need to put them back in the right places. I suggest you get a disk with twice as much space as the original; make an image copy of the original disk and don't touch the original anymore. Then try to undelete the files from the image. Use the list Adrian provided as a guide for what you're missing. You *may* be able to recover the data, if you're lucky and careful. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
