What errors exactly did you get, what commands did you do, how did you
dermine the issue, have you googled.
I suspect you want to read the raw data of some sort without needing the
information to interpret that data?
After googling for restore corrupted postgresql, I found
http://cobaltfaqs.com/index.php/Rebuilding_corrupt_PostgreSQL_database,
which may be relevant.

Perhaps you need to specify the exact error you get...

HTH.
