Hello i have a question,


i have a corrupt wallet.dat file with coins in it. and i like to get them back.
now i also have a wallet that's working very good, now for  a test i copied the wallet.dat from appdata to my C:
now i have done this:

Install Python 2.7 and download pywallet to your c:\ drive.
Copy wallet.dat file to c:\
Open a Command Prompt and type:
C:\>pywallet.py --dumpwallet --datadir c:\  --wallet=wallet.dat --recover --recov_device=c:\wallet.dat --recov_size=416Gio --recov_outputdir=F:\
It should extract all the keys to a new wallet on F:\ Copy the new wallet.dat to the c:\users\USERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin folder


when i have done that i have those files on my F: drive:
pywallet_partial_recovery_1413857812.dat
recovered_wallet_1413857869.dat
log.0000000001
__db.006
__db.005
__db.004
__db.003
__db.002
__db.001


then i copied all the files to my \appdata
i renamed: recovered_wallet_1413857869.dat to: wallet.dat
then restarted the QT.
Now in the original wallet i used for the test i had, 0.8 coins (not BTC)
But when QT has started i don't see the 0.8coins back ?
i did not delete the:
chainstate
blocks

from the \appdata.
do i need to delete those folders before i copyed the files to \appdata ?
or am i doing something also wrong ?
Cot the info to do this from google.


any help i appreciated
