HI!!!  Wink
As a result of the power failure, my computer's power supply and the hard drive were burnt. The wallet was not copied.
After dancing with a tambourine from a damaged disc, it was possible to partially restore the purse. In particular, the file wallet.dat is broken and is not directly transferred to the new wallet.
But there are files wallet.cpp and wallet.h, which are kind of whole, that is, they managed to be pulled out completely from the damaged disk.
Question. Will I have these files a chance to restore my wallet? Maybe they have any traces of private keys, addresses or something else? Or if there is no wallet.dat, then it is already impossible to do anything at all? Smiley

wallet.cpp and wallet.h are only source files to build the bitcoin client. They will not help at all to restore a damaged wallet.dat.

If you don't have any older backup of your wallet.dat I'm not sure that you will be able to recover the file.
