Post by: lolmiepp on June 09, 2011, 09:32:27 PM
Hey guys,

My computer just crashed, and now i can't open bitcoin.exe!!!!!!
when i try to open it i get this error:

EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::get: Not enough space
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe in AppInit()

when i click on OK i get:

EXCEPTION: 11DBException
Db::get: Not enough space
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe in
CMtApp:OnUnhandledException()

and when i again click on ok, i get this:

This application had requested Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Does this mean that i lost the 10BTC i had in this wallet?  :-[
Can it be fixed?

Please help me ??? ??? ??? ???

Thanks in advance

Downloading the blockchain takes about half a GB.  Check your hard drive space and delete crud you don't need.


Always try to keep your hard drive under 80% full, otherwise heavy thrashing and data loss can occur.

If your drive really is running out of space I am surprised the computer is still booting.

Check the file permissions then, maybe it cannot read/write?

Check S.M.A.R.T status of your drive with HWINFO or Speccy, it may be failing.

Back up your data.

Quick answer:

SHUT DOWN Bitcoin completely, including out of the tray (assuming you're able to start it in the first place)

SAVE wallet.dat (make an extra backup to a USB flash drive while you're at it - this is your coins)

DELETE all of the other files in the folder, leaving only wallet.dat behind

Restart Bitcoin

Removing everything exept the wallet worked :)

but everything is unconfirmed, do you guys know if it will be confirmed again, or do i have to do something else?

Thanks for the help!

Let it download the entire block chain and everything will come back as confirmed. Might take an hour or two, just let it run and be patient!
