You can also try pywallet's
--recover tool:
https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywalletIt works just like keyhunter, it will try to restore deleted keys/wallet from the selected drive.
Here's an example command for recover (
tested with python v2.7.17 and latest version of pywallet):
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=D: --recov_size=50Gio --recov_outputdir=C:\pywallet_recov_dir
Then you'll be prompted for the to-be-created wallet's passphrase (
where the keys will be imported) and the deleted wallets'/keys' possible passphrases.
(
characters wont display as you type the passphrases)
The result will be a wallet.dat named "
recovered_wallet_<number>.dat" that you can load to Bitcoin Core.
I downloaded from the website and installed python 2.7 but cmd says that "Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases."
On python 3+ i noticed there was a option to install python path or something like that. Is that related?
Also regarding the pywallet.py script, I would love if you could give me a step by step guide on how to use it. For instance I read that I shouldn't use the original hd but use an image disk. But I have no idea how to do that. I created an image disk of that hd I think
