Could you post the actual command you are trying to use?

If i remember rightly you have to use unix style paths so '/'s instead of '\', even when using it in windows. So both --recov_device and --recov_outputdir would need to be '/'s not '\'s.

C:\Users\Hoss\Documents\pywallet-win-files-master>python pywallet.py --recover --recov_size=XXX.XGio --recov_device X:/ --recov_outputdir X:/Where/to/put/found/stuff

It looks like you are basically there and looks like pywallet is installed.

you arent giving all the required arguments for pywallet to actually do anything though.

You need to do a command like what has been posted by HCP:

python pywallet.py --recover --recov_size=XXX.XGio --recov_device X:\ --recov_outputdir X:\Where\to\put\found\stuff

as an example:

python pywallet.py --recover --recov_size=250Gio --recov_device F:\ --recov_outputdir C:\recoveredwallets

you will need to change 250 and F to the size of the drive you are scanning and the letter the drive shows up in my computer as.

As already said, make sure you take a back up first of the drive.

Also you will probably need to run command prompt as admin

Hi,

Made an account just to let the mod know that the 'wallet' on the official TEKcoin topic is a virus and has just messed up my clean install of win7 (was too lazy to plug a drive in to get my old wallet exe).

Could someone please investigate this as i dont want other people running it and im not acutally sure what it is doing but it deffo isnt legit as it overwrites explorer.exe and dwm.exe with its own version (stupidly using the tekcoin icon for the file...) and it also cause windows to become not genuine.

Stupidly i wasnt running an antivirus at the time but noticed it was really raping one of my drives trying to read from it to the point it was crashing windows explorer, at that point i shut down and booted into another install to delete the stuff it created and restore my other install.

Just wanted to make the forum aware, i cant do anymore.

Thanks
Adam
