I am Raging about Bitcoin qt client :(

Regarding HDDs, never go for consumer-grade ones. Don't look at capacity first = look at RPM and how many years warranty covers.
Rather buy 10.000+ RPM server-grade, 5 years warranty, 250GB HDD than 7.200 RPM, 1 or 2 years warranty, 1+ TB HDD. Seriously.

mhh, I dont think so...
Btw I really need the storage -_-
I have an 13 year old barracuda in a old pc with 35 gb storage, its workt perfectly till now and further.
Also have another Barracuda 5 year old with 320gb 7200tpm and 0 bad sectors/errors etc.

This drive is fast (150mb/s+ write) and thats exactly what I need, Btw I have 5 year warranty on the hdd.
I dont need 'server rate 10.000rpm 250gb' hdd's, 7200 tpm is fast enough and I can easely get 100 gbs more on my hdd in a few days...

But on the topic again:
I downloaded Pywallet and installed everything succesfully but now when I click 'pywllet.py' there is a cmd screen that pops up and goes away in 1/10 of a second, whats the matter with the thing? I cant execute it as Admin as there is no option for it..

I think you have to do it from the command line.... start-->run-->cmd

Also, recommending pywallet for someone who will need to export a couple private keys is a bit overkill lol

If your wallet includes funds sent to change addresses, how would you know these addresses?

Get them looking for the transactions you sent on blockchain.info and blockexplorer.com?
Notice I said a couple private keys. For big/huge wallets pywallet is the way to go.
Just remember that the blockchain.info wallet has a 400 addresses limit, so, if the wallet is really big, importing the pywallet wallet dump there is not the way to go.

you can download blockchain here: http://eu1.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/

It doesn't work. Always have that blkindex error.

Blockchain.info is the one I would recommend.

I am also a heavy advocate of using paper wallets (such as ones you can print from BitAddress.org).  I don't leave bitcoins online and any time I transact in bitcoins, I physically grab the coins I need, transact in them, and send the change to another paper wallet.  That way, the only coins I ever risk getting stuck anywhere are the ones I'm working with at the moment, and with BlockChain.info I believe I'm not likely to get my coins stuck.

I really think this is the best way to operate a wallet.

Yeah I downloaded that, but like sed, after normal pc reboot (cant let it run 24/7) it gives the error.

Mhh, succesfully did the pywallet thing, and inserted the code it given, it imports succesfullyinto Blockchain.info BUT it shows NO btc in it while it has..
Should I be patient or what?

There's one more thing you could try.  take a look at getting the private key using gavin's bitcointools and see if dbdump.py gives the exact same key as pywallet does.
