I deleted accidentally my old partition, with all the data on it, stupid me, i only stored the -qt client, thinking it would store the bitcoins, but not the wallet.dat file

anyway, using deleted file software, called recuva, i was able to get three copies of my wallet.dat file

i guess these files are correspond to three different moments, since i received only three payments from my mining pool, and these files have different sizes.

my bitcoin-qt client is unable to read them when i place them (any of them) in my user folder where wallet.dat file should be

These are encrypted (or i think so, as i entered a password on my bitcoin client)

so how can i recover these corrupted files) is there anyway?

i did not only loose my bitcoins but also my bitcoin address that has been used for another payment, even after deleting it, so these bitcoins must be "lost" in the bitcoin limbo... Sad

please help, its not alot of money (im talking about cents) but is more a kind of challenge of being able to recover it

I think its very hard to recover an encrypted wallet, it could been easier if its not encrypted. But lets wait what can experts say.
