I had move my pgxlog and pgclog files to a drive of their own and that drive crashed with no chance of data recovery. This is not a production server so its not that big of a deal but I would like to recover the databases that the server had on it but ever time I start postmaster I get the following error.
 
DEBUG:  database system was interrupted at 2003-02-14 00:15:56 EST
DEBUG:  open of /pgdata/pg_xlog/0000000000000017 (log file 0, segment 23) failed: No such file or directory
DEBUG:  invalid primary checkpoint record
DEBUG:  open of /pgdata/pg_xlog/0000000000000017 (log file 0, segment 23) failed: No such file or directory
DEBUG:  invalid secondary checkpoint record
FATAL 2:  unable to locate a valid checkpoint record
DEBUG:  startup process (pid 29291) exited with exit code 2
DEBUG:  aborting startup due to startup process failure
 
Can I recover from this error or no?
 
Thanks
