Actually, my situation is like this: I had a properly running version of Postgres when my Windows crashed. I Installed a fresh copy on Windows on another disk, and then Postgres on top of it. Then I started the system from the new Windows, stopped the Postgres service and copied the data directory from the old system to the new one, but Postgres service refused to start. So it was not some kind of a backup copy, it was a regular directory of another installation. Any ideas? Thanks, Berislav
