one more question:
I've given it a first try using recuva. recuva has recovered a lot of files, some of them are archives with only numbers as names, some are different types of document formats.

1) will the wallet.dat be a .dat file, so i can easily detect it, or could it be a archive file or something like that?
2) what is the fastest way to detect the .dat file from the recovered files without checking every file by hand?

@jackg
thank you for your feedback regarding ease us. will give it a try if recuva fails.

Does it give you the number of .dat files it detects while running in recuva? I think it should be a .dat file (though what do the archive files have an extension of)?

archives are ending on .zip, they are of all sizes (4 kb to 1.9 GB).

check hasn't run through all the way so i do not know the number of .dat files, but i've seen two so far.

Do you recognise these zip files if not they might just be an alternative format of your recovered information.

Did you password protect your wallet? If you did, it might be a bit more difficult to recover if and when you find the right file.

There are generally a number of .dat files made by an OS and other programs so there's that to contend with here also...

We might need cracking softwares for that encrypted file so far, and for that password protection it really needs to be remebered so the recovery will be much faster. One the best solutions to have was through torrent applications, and I can guaranteed those legit ones to have rather than freewares. You can find more recovery tools with licensed imbeeded on it, and those cam really solve problems in an optimum ways.
