1  Other / Beginners & Help / Wallet disappeared?! on: January 18, 2012, 04:48:52 AM
Hi all,

unfortunately I acquired the "disk checker" virus a few days ago, which borked windows pretty hard. I fired up bitcoin yesterday, downloaded the block chain and I have no bitcoins, old transactions or addresses. It's completely empty. Checked the bitcoin directory in appdata and all files (including wallet.dat) in there were only recently created. It looks like my old wallet.dat was somehow overwritten or deleted Sad(( I tried using "Handy Recovery 5" and could find no deleted or older versions of wallet.dat.

I checked the address the coins were sent to from Virwox on block explorer and it doesn't look like they've been stolen either..

Can anyone provide any insight on how I could recover the coins, or am I screwed?  Cry
