Hi BitMaxz,

thank you for your input.
I'm not sure if I am using pywallet right and if my pywallet installation has some errors... or if it's because of the wallet.

But I tried what you suggested, just on a mac. This is what happened:

Input:

Code:
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=/Volumes/Untitled/ --recov_size=4GB --recov_outputdir=/Users/xxx/Downloads/

Output:

Code:
Starting recovery.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pywallet.py", line 4034, in <module>
    recoveredKeys=recov(device, passes, size, 10240, options.recov_outputdir)
  File "pywallet.py", line 1712, in recov
    r=search_patterns_on_disk(device, size, inc, nameToDBName.values())
  File "pywallet.py", line 1579, in search_patterns_on_disk
    if lendataloaded%512>0:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'NoneType' and 'int'
