Old computer crashed. Can only access windows in safe mode.

Postby Djay » Thu Sep 11, 2008 1:51 pm

Kind of sudden my laptop died on me last night. I am a donkey and i dont have recent backup. I can start my old computer in safe mode, but PT3 wont access the database from safemode. Therefore:

1) I have access to all files. Can i in some way simply move the DB file and open it on my new comp? If so, where do i look?

2) Can i du something to access the PT3 db from safemode so that i can export hands?



Thanks in advance.

You may have the original hand history files in the 'processed' folder. By default, I think this is a subfolder of your PT3 installation.

Alternatively, copy the whole of your postgres folder to your new computer. I think if you install the same version of postgres on the new computer you will be able to re-connect to the copied database folders.
On the step where you initialize the database cluster uncheck the box to skip this step.
I'm not sure exactly what you would have to do here, but if you get to this stage and need more help, ask, and I'm sure someone will help.
