I have a DATA folder of my previous PostgreSQL 8.1 (Windows XP) installation.
I do not have any DUMP or other backups. I want to use this folder instead
of the newly created DATA folder after new installtion.

I tried replacing the new folder with the old folder, but it did not work.
pgAdmin also stopped working.

I want to know how to recover the database from a DATA folder in case of
worst situations if no backups are available.
