That is not how you backup HM2 and the database/hands. HM2 uses the \Users directory for it's settings, HUDs and other personalized configurations.
Please see this FAQ to transfer/backup data:
http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...dem+Manager%3F
This will ensure that you have your hand histories and HUD saved to import into a new computer, and as a backup to restore in case of an emergency.
If you didn't do a pghembk backup, and the image doesn't also contain a copy of the C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager directory it will be impossible to reconnect the old database.
This
image you posted has a \HM2Archive and \STARSHANDS folder that should have your original hands if you end up having to import them manually.
If you do have the \HoldemManager directory I mentioned above you are going to need to place the \Database directory from the image backup into your new drive's installation of HM2, and the \postgreSQL directory from the image I linked above into the proper location (most likely C:\Program Files) then use the following instructions to try and reinstall and reconnect those folders with HM2:
Please note that reinstalling PostgreSQL will mean losing all your old data. If you have access to HM2 and your database was not corrupt then please follow these instructions for backing up your database as a precaution in case you cannot reconnect after reinstalling PostgreSQL -

If you cannot access the database in HM2 then you can backup your database using this method:
http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...nced+Method%29 but if your database was corrupt then the best solution is to reimport all your hands from C:/HM2archive folder or if your pokersite supports it you can request all your hands and summaries and reimport them as restoring a corrupt database will just restore all the problems you had.
Once you have backed up your previous database(s) then follow the instructions below to uninstall and reinstall PostgreSQL using the same database.
1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator and type the following and then press enter:
net user postgres /delete
3) You should get a successfully completed response if done correctly. If you get a permission type error you likely didnt run it as administrator as explained above.
4) Reboot your PC
5) Install the same version of PostgreSQL as your previous database using these instructions -

If none of that helps you will need to do a clean reinstall of postgresql, restore the database/settings backup if you have one, or just import the archived hands manually from scratch.
To reinstall PSQL manually:
Make sure windows is fully updated until 'No New Important Updates are Found' (this may require multiple restarts and multiple 'check for updates'), including Internet Explorer (even if you use a different web browser).

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Delete the \PostgreSQL\X.x\data folder that is left behind.
3) Delete the sub-folder(s) in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\HoldemManager\Da tabase (XP - c:\documents and settings\username\application data\HoldemManager\Database).
4) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator
net user postgres /delete
After you click 'Enter' for the code above also do that same for this code:
sc delete postgresql-8.4
and click 'Enter' again.
5) Restart your PC
6) Install PostgreSQL 9.0 or 9.2 from
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products...wnload#windows
7) Once installed you should disable the postgresql logging as instructed here -

If there is still an issue, we need to know the error - it is in the temp folder - bitrockinstaller.txt file. If you can't see it, turn off the windows option that is hiding that directory.
