Yesterday I backed up my wallet to a thumb drive, I had a power failure early today and when I went to open the Ravencore wallet it crashed.  I have downloaded the QT wallet onto a second computer but can't figure out how to transfer the the information I have on the wallet.dat thumb drive file to the new qt wallet.  Nothing I do seems to work.  I am sure it is something simple but I don't know enough to figure it out.
You need to put your wallet.dat file in place of the one that is broken or inplace of the one that is there with a new install. It's just a file with your encryption keys.
That was my thoughts, get a new QT, open it; have it generate a new wallet.dat, then rename that as _newwallet.bak and put in the old wallet.dat file in the Ravencoin folder
