Thanks for the info.
Yeah the HDD is long gone I'm afraid this was about 6-7 years ago. Figured there was no hope just thought I would ask on the off chance.
The best bit is the more the currency becomes worth as time goes by the more I'll be able to kick myself, but that's hindsight eh.

Hopefully a quick question, bought a 100 bit coins in one lump years ago and have since lost the wallet HDD failure.
Don't think you can but was wondering if i could find my transaction in the ledger is there any way to get it back?
From what I understand if you lose the wallet without a backup it's gone am I right?
