Have you tried R-Studio or any other recovery software? I have personally tried R-Studio before and was able to recover stuff that was gone 2 formats ago. But that was years ago, don't know how good it is now. I am guessing it should be better now. Title: Re: dat wallet loss, windows pywallet --recov_outputdir parameter?

Post by: deliants on December 17, 2014, 08:23:09 PM wasnt much there, little over 0.5bc so not a biggie. still an annoyance as i probably have to mine for a year to make up with this difficulty. only have 500ghs :\
gonna fiddle around some more with r-studio, not quite sure how it works yet. did a scan, proceeded getting annoyed going through each recovery block individually to search. any suggestions to the --recov_outputdir parameter appriciated for a try.

It's just a directory name where a wallet.dat file with the recovered keys will be created. You shouldn't choose a directory that's on the same drive that your trying to recover keys from. If you only have one drive, you could plug a USB stick in and use it as the outputdir (e.g. "--recov_outputdir e:\" or similar).

Post by: deliants on December 17, 2014, 09:19:19 PM i understand what the parameter does, its just that --recov_outputdir d:\ is not a valid option and gives me the error "A mandatory option is missing"
Title: Re: dat wallet loss, windows pywallet --recov_outputdir parameter? Post by: btchris on December 17, 2014, 10:10:18 PM That's odd... when I try this, it works fine for me. Is this exactly what you're running?
Code: pywallet.py --recover --recov_size 120Gio --recov_device \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 --recov_outputdir d:\ You are on Windows, correct? Are you running it from an elevated ("Run as administrator") command prompt? Are you running the same version as I am (downloaded Sept 8th or later from https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet (https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet))? Also, is your hard drive less than 120 gigabytes in size? Title: Re: dat wallet loss, windows pywallet --recov_outputdir parameter? Post by: deliants on December 17, 2014, 10:39:08 PM I have no idea whats going on, for some reason it worked perfectly when i copy pasted yours. Mine looked _exactly_ the same but gave me argument error.
