Fw: Disk too small

[Kouye]

hello sir sorry for disturbing you just need some information I have download

Bitcoin Qt but now realize my hard disk is very small and its have too much

data its still going 49 weeks behind and hard disk is full now my bad I have

some 0.15 btc which are not visible if I delete this Bitcoin Qt and  re-download

on new computer then my old address and coins recoverable is yes then how

please give some information thanks   

Sorry to post this PM I received, but I'd hate being responsible for any damage.
From what I understand, you just need to copy your wallet.dat file (from old computer) to a secure location, before you reinstall QT on the new computer.
Then copy back your wallet.dat to the new computer, and you should be fine, once the blockchain has finished updating (which can take up to a a long time (weeks), depending on your bandwitdth).

Wallet path depends (mostly) on OS.
What OS do you use?

[ReBoRn]

OS mean I am checking all this and then tell you

[Kouye]

OS mean I am checking all this and then tell you

OS = Operating System, sorry.

Linux? Windows 95? Windows server 2008R2? Jelly Bean?

Then open a windows explorer (win+e if not sure, hold both keys together), then browse to
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin

Replace your YourUserName with your actual user name, and you should see a wallet.dat file.
If so, copy this file it to a usb stick, for example.

as you explain I open and have 4 folder and 1 .DAT file now I have saved all these in USB

Search for for any other wallet.dat file (win+f => walllet.dat) on your old computer, before, and backup each of those.
Then let your new computer download the blockchain. This can take a lot of time, don't lose patience.
Quit the QT client (on new computer), and copy the wallet.dat backup you're the most confident with over the empty one created on you new computer. (If same OS and same user, same location).

Spreading your mining effort across all 3 does not seem bad to me.
But keep in mind this is my opinion, and it's probably worthless.

I love to use WINDOWS XP so again done this but this time have hard disk some big

edit  I am doing also CAPTCHA work so just because of this I need this WINDOWS XP some software's works on XP better

Then once you're done with getting the blockchain, shut QT down, replace the empty wallet it created in your

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin 

folder by the one from your usb stick.

I would also make another copy the wallet.dat somewhere else on your harddrive (I don't really trust usb sticks with such "important" data)

After that, create/edit the shortcut you're using to launch QT, and add " -rescan" in the end of the "Target" input box.

Should look like:

Code:

...\bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan

where ... is the location of your bitcoin-qt client.

Your balance should be ok, then.
If not, don't panic, QT is sometimes a bit dodgy when it comes to computing balances, we'll find another way.

Hello Sir if you are in North America or South then good day I was waiting for you just its completed all downloading and ready for this now what is my first step for adding my old address please some describe if you can do on team viewer than I can send you id and password please solve this and thanks for your time

[Kouye]

I'm sorry, but I'd rather not connect to your computer.
Is anything unclear in the following sequence:
- Shutdown Bitcoin-QT
- If your current wallet was not empty, copy it to a safe location
- Replace your current wallet by the one your extracted from your old computer (make sure you don't delete this "old" wallet until you successfully moved the coins out of it)
- Restart QT with a "-rescan" switch
