I formatted this hard drive at least twice and used it for a few years. I thought I had lost it, but when I moved I found it stored in a box.
I tried searching for the hex string "fd1701308201130201010420'', but no luck, I don't know if this prefix covers wallets from early 2010 or if all wallets contain the prefix 04 20 preceding a private key.

Does anyone have the bitcoin wallet file from early 2010? I mined Bitcoin through the CPU in early 2010 but I ended up formatting the HD, recently I managed to find the HD and I'm trying to recover deleted file through Winhex, I would like to access a wallet from 2010 to know exactly the magic numbers in hex to find the private key. Please Help. I will give some bitcoins to whoever helps me. thanks
