SOS. Database Lost



Hi All: I'm From Spain and I'll try to write in english as best as possible:
 
I'm new in the list, and I have a serious problem: I am novice with Postgresql and I haven't found any solution.
I Wil descrive the scenario:
 
I have Postgresql 8.0.1 running on Windows 2003 Server.
I have a Backup of my database, but is a little old
 
And here is my problem:
 
First, the Postgresql service didn't started (really started, but shut down immediatly)
then I copied all the "postgresql" folder in other place, uninstalled and reinstalled Postgresql, and then overwrite the "data" folder with the one from the copy that I did.
 
Now, the service starts properly, but the database doesn´t work. I did "pg_resetxlog" (I don´t know what it does, but I saw it somewhere).
 
From pgAdmin III, I see the database, I access it, I see the tables and their properties, but no data.  I get the error  "xlog flush request 6D/432AAAA8 is not satisfied --- flushed only to 0/C03D020  CONTEXT: writing block 925 of relation 16631/17254/18128" when I try to view the tables
 
I would need to know if I can recover the data from the tables and how to do it.
I thank any suggestion that can help.
