Hello!
I managed to format the hard drive with my wallet.dat file a long time ago. I quickly realized what had happend and tried to recover the file. I had written some few files to the drive after formatting it, but the drive is 2TB so I had my hopes up that I didn't overwrite the wallet.dat itself. I managed to recover 2 different wallet.dat files with a file recovery program. The program said both files were in great shape. Programs and movies recovered at the same time worked perfectly. I never managed to get the 2 wallet.dat files working...
When I didn't get them to work I ran a linux program from this forum which scanned the drive after keys and rebuilt a "recovered-wallet.dat" file. I didn't manage to get this one working either.
Back then the 10 coin's I had weren't worth too much so I quickly gave up, but now the coin's are worth almost 4000$!
So far I've tried to use pywallet and dump my private keys.
When I use the --dumpwallet command on the first 2 files I get the error message: ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again.
When using the same command on the "recovered-wallet.dat" file I get the error message:
Can anyone help?
