Hello to all, it's my first mail in this group ...

I have  a problem with a database 8.0.4 (installed on a Windows XP), 
yesterday during startup my windows-xp generate an error message and 
postgresql service don't start more.
I try to start service manually but nothing, appare a message that say 
that service could not start.
So i done a phisical copy of the directory containing the postgresql 
(binary and database) i uninstall postgres binary and reinstall all 
using the same directory without creating first database cluster ... and 
again nothing ... so i deinstall again all ... delete all files 
including databases and install all again and now all ok ...
So now the question ... it's possibile to recover my database starting 
from a filesystem phisical copy ?

Thanks to all in advance
Fabio
