Cant recover postgres database

[Hasuwisp]

Several days ago my postgres died, and all i have is the data directory of my postgres database.
I used both methods of recovery i found here:
1:

I"f you don't have any recent backups then this is what you will need to do to try to recover the databases...
1. Create a new folder on your C drive called PostgreSQL_Data.
2. Go to the c:\program files\postgresql\8.2 folder. Right-click on the "data" folder and select "Copy" from the popup menu.
3. Go to the newly created c:\PostgreSQL_Data folder and right-click and select "Paste" from the popup menu.
4. Now, go to the Start menu and select Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and then remove PostgreSQL 8.2 from the list.
5. From the Start menu again select Run. On the window that opens type "COMMAND" and hit OK. This will open a DOS window. Type the following next to the prompt...
net user postgres /delete
and hit ENTER to run it. Then type EXIT to close the DOS window.
6. Now, download and reinstall PostgreSQL as directed here:

WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT on the second window where it asks you where you want to install PostgreSQL click on the "Data Directory" button and navigate to the c:\PostgreSQL_Data\data folder and select that. This will force it to try to reuse your old data.
CONTINUE until you get to the window that has the "Initialize Database Cluster" box at the top left corner. UNCHECK THIS BOX and click the Next button and then just continue installing from there.
7. Once the install is done, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER and then try to open PT again."

In the new PostgreSQL_data folder, is there a file called postmaster.pid there? If so, delete it then restart the computer and try to start the service again. Does this work?

[Hasuwisp]

No, there is no such file at all comp, and i enabled search in hidden/sytem files.

Os is XP sp1/sp2(2 comps couldnt recover at any). postgres was 8.2 reinstalled and tried to recover with the same postgres.

I'll PM you with directions on how to send the .rar file to me so I can try to recover it.
