Help needed

[bitcoin9096]

About 7 months ago I started using bitcoins,I was a newbie at that time I didn't created a backup of my wallet.I just use chrome broswer then i open blockchain.info then with the help of identifier and password i logged into it.just after using 3-4 days my hdd crashed with about 1.8 bitcoins in it.

At that time i tried myself but didn't succesfull but seeing the price now i want to try again with help of other peoples.i can see files using Hard Disk Data Recovery Software when i connect to my laptop but if i want to use it directly its a total waste so what i need to copy from there as something must be saved in chrome folder so that identifier comes up everytime and i just need to enter my password to view and use my wallet.any help will be appreciated.

copy the entire chrome folder including the app data cache. Start with that and see what happens, you have to rely on trial & error.

or... create a new blockchain.info account and see if you can import the keys.

Check your  email   try to  see  if  you  find  the  old  identifier  number in  it  .  all you have  to do is   get that identifier  number  and   login  using  your  old  password . And  dont  panic.

Well in that case all i can  say is  better  back up  your wallets and  stop  using  the  hosted  wallet  service.  have  it on your  computer  encrypt it  or  print it   out. 

now  just  mark  this  off  as a  loss  and  move  on. 

there  will  be  sunnier  days  ahead.

I use blockchain and Whenever i create an address or delete one, i get the wallet backup to my email.
If you have an account with blockchain, am sure you should have given a email address.

If you forgot your identifier, then try to login from your new laptop and it will email a unique link with your identifier.
Try if you can gain access in that way.

he he.. Am also in the same boat mate.! I Offloaded a few as soon as it hit 300.. Part of it was of my customers assets which i manage.
The more painful thing is, if this price increase was over the period of 6 months, then it would have not bothered me. But instead it is over a period of 1 week.

Infact i received the USD transfer from the sale just 2 days ago when it was 500.

If i knew china  would  be  investing  so heavily i  would not  have  sold, could  have   earned profit to have my self  retired, but instead i  was left with  holding my D**k .   Argggg.......


And now  there is  a  dam  coin shortage .

OP, it is not clear how your wallet was stored. If you want help, you need to explain the problem clearly:

You used blockchain.info.. Right? It does not store wallet locally (except in the cache). The wallet is stored in a db at the server. So I don't see how a disk crash could cause this.
So all you need is the wallet identifier and password. The identifier is used to find which wallet to open.

Did you lose your identifier as well? If so, did you have an email attached with your wallet? If you don't have it, the you need to look at the browser cache to see if the wallet is there. Do not use the computer for anything, and post this in the "Technical support" forum. Someone there will be able to help you.

+1. Am still trying to figure out how disk crash would affect a blockchain.info wallet.
You might loose the client side encryption if you were using browser extension.

But i think you should still be able to access your wallet through web. Isn't it.?

Yup recovery is  possible  i  have  recovered  accounts  from blockchain.info by simply getting the  email  attachment.
But  what i  suspect is  that  he may have  used  a  disposable  email  address and  never  bothered to  back  up the  email. 

Now that the  identifier is  lost  he   cant retrieve  any emails  from a  disposable  email address and  now it  just  impossible  to  get it  back
