-snip-
The only file that's being created is:
pywallet_partial_recovery_1693919436.json
You've encountered an error when you run pywallet that's why the necessary files aren't created.
The "pywallet_partial_recovery_<timestamp>.json" file doesn't contain the private keys but a list of positions of possible encrypted and unencrypted private keys.
It's not too important.

I haven't encountered that error when testing Pywallet's --recover when a password isn't provided.
I'll try if I can reproduce it.

Have you tried a different --recov_outputdir?

Thanks I'll try a different recov_outputdir and see if that helps. Problem is it takes several hours to run before showing me the error message.

Is there anyway I can just get it to do a faster run using the locations from the pywallet_partial_recovery_<timestamp>.json file?

Thanks for the help so far but it's still not working unfortunately.

I'm running this command:
c:\Python27\python.exe pywallet.py --recover --recov_size=250Gio --recov_device E: --recov_outputdir C:/


I've tried without entering a pass phrase and get the following:


Read 250.0 Go in 194.0 minutes

Found 0 possible wallets
Found 0 possible encrypted keys
Found 100 possible unencrypted keys
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pywallet.py", line 4039, in <module>
    db_env = create_env(options.recov_outputdir)
  File "pywallet.py", line 1489, in create_env
    r = db_env.open(db_dir, (DB_CREATE|DB_INIT_LOCK|DB_INIT_LOG|DB_INIT_MPOOL|DB_INIT_TXN|DB_THREAD|DB_RECOVER))
bsddb.db.DBRunRecoveryError: (-30974, 'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- unable to join the environment')

c:\>


The only file that's being created is:
pywallet_partial_recovery_1693919436.json

There's no "__db.001" files

Thanks!

Hello,

Back in the early days I remember mining some BTC with a CPU using the original miner.

I think I've found the drive I did this on but it has since been reformatted and used to store a mix of photos and videos.

I have attempted a recovery using Pywallet which is indicating that it's finding some keys but then doesn't seem to be putting them into a wallet.

Can anyone tell me how I can view these keys?

Code:
Read 250.0 Go in 238.0 minutes

Found 0 possible wallets
Found 0 possible encrypted keys
Found 100 possible unencrypted keys


All the found encrypted private keys have been decrypted.
The wallet is encrypted and the passphrase is correct


Importing:


The new wallet C://recovered_wallet_1691644223.dat contains the 0 recovered key


Thanks!
