Hi Eric,

it depends on what data you'll be able to recover from the hard drive.
Nobody can help you with that over email. If the hard drive was
damaged, you should turn to a specialized data recovery company. If
the hard drive wasn't damaged, you'll probably be able just to put it
to a new machine and it should work as before (depending on which OS
you were using).

Once you have all or some data back, we can help you rebuild your
DSpace. Let us know what files and how much of them you've been able
to recover.

 Some files were actually recovered from the server, but we cannot access
 them.
 So is it possible to reinstall dspace afresh and access these files?

Please, do not write directly to me, write to dspace-tech, I'll reply there.

That depends on what particular files were salvaged. Did you recover
them with file names and directory structure? What does  the structure
look like (e.g. only half of the assetstore isn't a problem as long as
you have the complete database)? Most importantly, did you recover the
database? Do you have, perhaps an older export in SQL format (that
would be easiest to work with)?
