You should try to do a binary-search of the harddisk for the magic bytes of wallet.dat

Will try that to but I think those key names like keymeta are for later code? Not February/March 2009 and 2010?

Anyway I tried the grep above and I am getting chunks of some sort of keys back.  There are a repeating sequence of 30 characters which looks like shortened SHA followed by 8 garbage characters followed by another set of 30 character SHA.
