There's a forum rule that doesn't allow multiple consecutive posts unless you are allowed (by another forum rule) to bump a thread even when the last post is yours. You can perfectly answer and cite multiple other posts in just one of yours. It's no rocket science...
Three rules about it.
13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours per thread. Bumping multiple threads at the same time is allowed if it's not annoying. [2][e]

21. Old bumps should be deleted. [2]

32. Posting multiple posts in a row (excluding bumps and reserved posts by the thread starter) is not allowed.

Working with the hard drive, unfortunately all I really remember is that I stored the keys and other data in binary and hex formats. I did not store them as regular wallets. I was pretty paranoid.
I can not help you to recover your wallet but this lesson is a hard and big one for you.

In future, when you back up your wallets, don't do a hard and complicated way, that costs you big loss like this. A more complexity you do with your wallet backup, a possible more problems you will get with wallet recovery in future and a bigger risk that you will fail in wallet recovery.

Seed Backup Threat Model

We already know why we are creating seed backups - to protect against loss of whatever devices (if any) we are storing the keys on for regular use. But what do we need to worry about protecting the backups themselves against?

Loss due to destruction
Loss due to complexity / not being able to restore from backup
Loss to an attacker
