Will a private key show as a 51 character string starting with 5, or will it be in another form?, when searching the hdd. Thanks.

Just had a preliminary search of the drive using recuva but only let it run for 15 minutes before it was indicating that it had found 10's of thousands of files. Why so many?
No offense, but if this is the level of questions you're asking while searching to recover $84k, I'd say STOP IT NOW and hire a professional data recovery service. Fair comment, but if i can find the info i need then i would rather try myself and avoid possibly being ripped off. Thanks.

Are public keys 33 characters long and private keys 51 characters long always?. Thanks.

Would i see private keys in wallet import format assuming i find any private keys on the drive, and are they always the same length of characters?. thanks again.

You should search the place where your data directory is stored at. By default, it is at %appdata%/Bitcoin. If you changed the data directory, you have to specify it. So what would the exact file address be Users\Username\Apps\Roaming\Bitcoin\??, any help welcome. Also, what would a private key typically look like compared with a public key. Thanks.

Can anyone point me to a guide on using pywallet or a recovery program to attempt getting my btc back from a hard drive that has had windows reinstalled. The drive was removed from the laptop and was used for less than a week after the stupid event. I have bought a hard drive caddy but want to know if i should use a recovery program or can i just use pywallet?. If anyone could point me to a guide that is useable by a computer novice, ie a step by step spoon feed type guide, i would be very grateful. Cheers guys.
-- If you have the HDD, I would recommend one piece of software that I have used before(Though not recover DBase Files, that is the kind of file for wallet.dat), here the link: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_DownloadThe software you want to use is PhotoRec. I would give it a shot. Just remember to save the recovered files in another drive, not the one you are scanning. Good Luck! Thanks everyone, will keep trying with whatever info i can find or is suggested by anyone else. cheers.

You need a wallet file to use pywallet. It alone, without such a file, is useless. If the drive was overwritten then the chance of recovery is very slim.
For attempting to recover, try one of these: EaseUsRecuveThanks for your reply. So the first step would be to search for wallet.dat? using a recovery program, how could i distinguish between ltc, qrk and btc data?. I have to try whatever it takes as we are talking about maybe 32btc plus some ltc. cheers.
