The hard disk failed on one of my computers doing work for einstein@home. I replaced the drive and reloaded the OS. Now what is the best way to start BOINC and einstein?
Depends on if the data on the old drive can be gotten or not.
If it can be, then I would install BOINC (same version as before - do not let it start up), and copy the whole BOINC folder over the fresh install. Then start it up.
If not, just install BOINC as new, and just connect to the project. The data you had will go out to others, and you will have fresh data to crunch.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to restore from a backup, but when restarted it had all kinds of problems - probably from corrupted files. I started the machine from scratch and attached to einstein. That worked and so it is off running.
