Because I needed space and I had my Bitcoin armory installed on my D: drive.
Little did I know that my wallets where in the C: folder.

So I used a recovery program to get the files back or atleast some of them, but however I try I cant get the wallet to show up in the armory.

Now my questions are where do I put the recovered files, and how do I open them in the armory again?
What files are needed for a wallet to work and are there any other connections or things I must do?

Very thankful for help!

1) You should always have a backup.

2) You only need the first 256 bytes or so of the wallet file to recover the encrypted root key. If you got a file that is about that long, use the wallet recovery tool in Armory and hope for the best.

3) If you manage to recover your wallet, make a backup =)

Yes. Import it in Armory or copy it into your datadir

You can always try a recover program to scan for the deleted files, the sooner you do that the easier it will be.
