Just got this message with Qt: "Corrupted Blockchain Detected do you want to rebuild". Advice please. TIA

Click "Abort" and upgrade to Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.5 before restarting the app. That sorted the problem for me.

Thanks for the reply and I should have read this thread before posting.

One more question: When this first occurred, I selected the option to begin re-indexing. Then decided I'd better research this matter before continuing and aborted the re-index at about 67 weeks remaining. I have now downloaded and installed 0.8.5. When I run the new version it is continuing the re-indexing from the abort point. Any problem, risk with allowing this to continue? Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

I didn't go this route myself, but it sounds fine. It'll just take a good long while until it completes, so the "Abort" option would have been faster. Anyhow, one ought to always keep a backup copy of the wallet.dat file somewhere else, and with that in hand there's not much reason to worry; in the worst case you can always start over.

Thanks again for the excellent info.

Best
