1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Failing hard drive, unfinished blockchain on: February 10, 2014, 09:20:09 AM
In a stroke of terrible luck and idiocy, I recently tried to send bitcoin to my wallet on a new installation of Bitcoin-QT before it finished downloading the blockchain. While the blockchain was still downloading, my hard drive failed, corrupting windows. I believe I can still access most of the files on the drive by booting in linux from another drive and exploring the corrupt drive.

As someone relatively new to bitcoin, this means that my BTC is currently 'lost' so to say, un-received by the client but sent from my coinbase wallet. Is it possible to move the address (not the wallet because the BTC was never actually received right?) from the old hard drive to a new installation of bitcoin-qt on my new hard drive so that I can receive the coins?

Thanks for any answers ahead of time.
