Computer system? Do you mean OS? If so i'm on Win10
Maybe this helps: Bitcoin Core Data directory (after you made another backup of your wallet.dat).
(I don't use Windows myself)

Update: Is it possible your external drive just got another drive letter?

Ah linux distro? and none of them work. Im assuming because everything including the client is on my external. Its very possible a new drive letter was assigned.. im constantly drive swapping. Good lord your right lol i just checked

Alright a new folder was created on a different drive. Deleted folder and removed that drive Bam problem solved.
LoyceV your awesome brother. Thanks for the help  Smiley

And how much coin is in the wallet?

you do not need to be exact.

say it is under 0.01 btc

or over 0.01 btc


reasoning is 0.01 x 62000 is 620 usd which sucks to lose but should not be the end of the world for you


while 0.1 or 0.5 is 6200 to 31000 usd which make it all the more important to understand what you are doing.

There are hardware wallets like the trezor.io which are easier to use. They are pretty safe.

I didn't loose my wallet. Bitcoincore is no longer synced with my wallet/blockchain. This is all still in the same place. Seems the client just aint using it and is auto downloading the blockchain. Not sure why the amount of coin in my wallet is relevant 

What you should do is back up your wallet.dat to a secure location before you do anything.
^^ Start with this ^^
Done

Both Bitcoincore, wallet.dat and block chain are on a external driver
It sounds like your Bitcoin Core configuration somehow lost where you stored the files. The fix (and file locations) will depend on what computer system you're using, so please start with that.

Sorry in advance i clearly have no idea what I'm doing.

I had made a wallet on bitcoincore and downloaded the blockchain. Everything was fine for a couple months.. went a couple weeks without opening the client and now its asking me to redownload the blockchain and no wallet is linked.

Is there a way to link Bitcoincore to my wallet and blockchain download so i can recover my wallet..

Both Bitcoincore, wallet.dat and block chain are on a external driver

Seriously new to all of this and would like to learn. Thanks
