Title: Formated disc - recover altcoin wallets Post by: aljazstraser on August 24, 2017, 09:23:27 AM Hello,
I would really need help from somebody who experienced same problems. I installed new Windows version on my computer. In setup wizard I formated old partition and installed fresh version of Windows. After that I used different tools for recovering files.. like EaseUs Recovery and Recuva.. all found wallet.dat files, but when I want to open any altcoin it says: wallet.dat corrupt salvage failed.. Tried also to open *.exe with --salvage option, nothing helps.. Please suggest, how can I recover my wallets.

You need to give it a "device”... Not a file. If you read the stack exchange link from earlier, you'll see the user is a small USB thumb drive, put the wallet file on that and then used pywallet.c:\pywallet-master>pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=E:\backup\wallet.dat --r ecov_size=500Gio --recov_outputdir=C:\pywallet-master\recover What am I doing wrong? And --recov_size should be the size of that device you're scanning. So if you had a 4gig USB thumb drive, mounted as drive G: you would use: pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=G: --recov_size=4Gio --recov_outputdir=C:\pywallet-master\recover |
