Title: I found an old disk wallet.dat but Post by: bad man on March 01, 2024, 06:54:18 PM how to fix
Bitcoin Core - Warning Warning: Error reading C: \Users\C \AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin wallets\ii\wallet.dat! Transaction data may be missing or incorrect. Rescanning wallet.

Did you really find the file on the old disk as you claim or someone sold that to you? Title: Re: I found an old disk wallet.dat but Post by: BitMaxz on March 01, 2024, 08:34:10 PM Run Bitcoin Core with -rescan but before doing anything else about the wallet.dat file you found please make a backup first so that if you mess up with the first recovery attempt and it becomes corrupted you have a backup copy.
To run Bitcoin Core with -rescan just edit the Bitcoin Core shortcut file and paste the "-rescan" under the target and then apply. Check this image below https://i.ibb.co/FwN6Q5s/image.png Run the Bitcoin core and let's hope it fixes your issue.

No My friend, there's no lock, it's just a file, but I can't read it.

Deleted files can sometimes be corrupted, or just a fragment of a completely unrelated file. Have you tried opening the wallet.dat in a hex editor to see if it actually contains something and isn't just full of zeros?
