Ok I see! I think the file is badly corrupted

You should use the recovery: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.msg2794856#msg2794856
Code:
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device c:\path\to\your\wallet.dat --recov_size 30Gio --recov_outputdir c:\recoveredwalelt

The rest should be obvious
Tell me if anything goes bad
If this doesn't recover the keys you wanted then I really think they're gone

So as far as i can see, the recovery option will search for the wallet patter within a whole hard drive?

I thought it would try to fix a wallet, already recovered using some file recovering sofware as i did, instead.

Ok, tomorrow i'll try to use the tool over my old hard drive where i detected i had my old wallet deleted, i haven't used it ever since.

Ill let know how it works Smiley

thank you!
