I know.  I'll take it into consideration if the amount in there is worth pursuing.  I did look up the hash speed from the archives, next I have to figure out the earnings, I've seen charts that show the network difficulty back then.  Kind of ironic, if I had known a way to look it up before all of this I would've done it that way, then investigated what would be involved in recovering the wallet based on that information.  Other complications, I don't know that the wallet isn't over written, and or that the oxide on the platters hasn't degraded and flaked away over the years.  So, even if I sent it into a forensics lab that had a clean room and could perform various recovery services, I don't know definitively that they could recover it.  Thank you for the suggestion though.

Thank you HCP and others that have helped on this.

If you mined in solo mode, then when at least 1 block is found, you should have 50 bitcoins in your wallet.
