If you didnt make a back-up for your wallet then its impossible to get it back.  Its like what happened to me after I reformatted my hard drive along with my desktop wallet and up to now I cannot recover it. In my experience I consulted many It experts but none of them could possibly bring it back though its only 2 btc. Theres no way to recover them but ask some masters maybe they have experiences of bringing back your wallet.

[Immakillya]

Wow. Thats a huge amount. You already wipe your diskdrive many times. I dont think that its possible your bitcoins because you format your diskdrives many times. Even an IT expert will have a hard time recovering your bitcoin. But theres a chance to recover it. Hire an expert. But dont assume they can bring back your btc because the chances are very thin.

I was 17 and I was not an expert, I had made a backup on cd in 2009, but even that is gone. I can't find this cd.

[Shiroslullaby]

If you've been using this same hard drive for years, formatted it multiple times and written data to it, even a data recovery specialist won't be able to recover the wallet.
Your only hope would be a backup of the wallet on another hard drive or CD/DVD.
I would be trying to find that disk since it would be worth to a Million dollars if you really had a wallet with 1,000 bitcoin in it...

[myBitcoin2009]

Now i have only hard drive formatted 5-6 times.

I already tried using the data recovery software, recommended me to go to a data recovery expert?

Recovering your coins would be nearly impossible because you dont have the important data on your wallet (private keys etc.) once you lost it then thsoe coins are lost forever and you cant get them back.Sad to say but this is the truth and if im in that situation regrets would really last for months i guess.

[myBitcoin2009]

Are you serious 1000 btc that's one he'll of a amount. How did you get satoshi to send it to you. I hope this is not a trill and you are not fooling us. I think you should post in service or giveaway offering 1btc if some one gives you a solution to recover it. And I hope I get one btc too for suggesting it to you. But I am yet finding it difficult 2009 and suddenly in 2016 you woke up are you all truly convinced?

Maybe even more than 1000 btc, were very many.

[Lauda]

Now i have only hard drive formatted 5-6 times.

To simplify this situation: If you have formatted your hard drive that number of times and it's been overwritten, then there is nothing that can be done.

Maybe even more than 1000 btc, were very many.

Unfortunately for you, these Bitcoin are most likely forever lost (unless you find that CD and it is intact).

I read through this tread and saw that I'm not sure people have fully answered your question.
If you have formatted your drive 5 times, and not filled it after that (as in left it empty to the size of the bitcoin directory). Then there is a chance that you could have the wallet.dat file in there somewhere.

Most likely - you don't - it's gone. But it wouldn't hurt to run a disk recovery operation and search for the wallet.dat file. The wallet.dat file is unlikely to be over a few MB so it could be there. Just search google for disk recovery programs and find one to recover your wallet.dat file. (you may also want to use a company to recover this data as it is such a valuable amount of bitcoins to uncover now).

I tried it with data recovery programs, by connecting the hard disk with a USB via an adapter, but I only found last formatted data.

Mac OS Journaled or Windows NFTS? I might be able to help, but I'd need a copy of the CD shipped over to inspect in person... I run a lot of recovery software for my business...

And wow that's a LOT.

[lazypolarbears]

I'm a little less familiar with windows but I do know it's easier to "crack" (if it's even possible at this point) than Mac OS X Journaled, partly because there's more software out there for windows...

Shoot me a PM if you want help...

Unless you send it off to a company to get it completely scanned to see if they can find anything. It looks like you may have lost it forever. If it only recovers what you last formatted then that means that anything before the format before that is completely lost.

I'd probably advise you try different software for recovery before sending itdirectly due to amount that is there and the fact you don't know if they're going to steal it or not.
Also, open source (free) data recovery is probably the best as many people have edited it to improve how it preforms.

WOW. Thanks I offered to help (I run a 501c3 IRS certified nonprofit that rebuilds laptops for underprivileged schoolchildren) and you have to shoot me down like that?>

Apologies. You can understand how most users that ask to get a disk of that type could potentially take the $700k for themselves? And based on the amount of scamming that happens daily here it is normally considered a good idea to try all options, but you will definitely be useful to helping OP if they cannot get it on their own.

No worries - no need to apologize. That is a lot of money and I truly feel bad if OP lost out on an investment opportunity like that....

There is a considerable amount everywhere on the internet. There are many on this site tryint to attract newbies (luckily they have reduced in the amount due to mods deleting ponzi scheme threads but that has also opened scammers up to making new, more advanced ways of stealing money).

Deleted post.

Sad but the story almost sounds fake. Id like to see some proof that you even knew about bitcoin in 2009.

To the mod who deleted my post. Fuck you bitch. I have a right to share my opinion that this story sounds fake. It almost sounds like a scam set up and you're deleting my posts. Get a fucking life loser.

I have no reason to post false things.

@OP, just ignore him. There is almost no way of you even being able to scam here.
@Kayak, read the OP atleast in future before replying.

1000BTC in 2009 was nothing. Nobody would've ever thought it'd go where it is now...

Can people on this forum stop attacking others? Sure there are some trolls, but the majority of us are (hopefully) good people.

Exactly! This is a very plausable story.

Well you have reformatted the HDD so many times that i think there is no way, except you could always try something like https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage
I will of course offer help with my best ability, but the thing is that depends on what was the method on formatting the drive that if it can be recovered (i still think that 5 or 6 times with pretty much any method makes it almost impossible to recover).
Sincerely, Onni
