There is no "documents and settings" on windows 7 and 8. I think it is just "users"
So, try to look for: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit or <drive>\Users\<username>\Library\Application Support\MultiBit

If you moved the hard drive from computer A to computer B and then booted computer B from its pre-existing drive, you should not expect to see multibit on your desktop. That is because you are looking at computer B's desktop, not computer A's. What you need to do is go into file manager, and locate the hard drive from computer A. Then search for MultiBit under that path. hint: /Library/Application Support/MultiBit/ The only thing missing on my computer is MultiBit. Literally EVERYTHING is present except multibit and the .wallet files. How is this even possible, it just vanished.. Not even the desktop shortcut is visible.. EVERYTHING multibit just vanished.. is this permanent corrupted data? Yes. That is what I meant: the Desktop directory from Computer A is not showing Multibit. All the other shortcuts and from Computer A are visible though. Every directory I tried to look for the wallet, in the drive of Computer A in this case, NOWHERE multibit is found. I did have it in AppData Roaming (my wallets), Program Files (x86) (installed), and desktop (shortcut). NONE is visible in my drive.

I want to make clear I am absolutely not hacked: my address is safe (all coins are still in the address, @ Blockchain). Never downloaded anything but MultiBit on the computer. Daily scanning.

Doing a scan now (deep scan enabled aswell). Reward is upped to 0.5 BTC. Man I really hope this works. Last hope I guess, would loading my computer in safe mode make any difference at all?

Was in the DIR\Program Files (x86) of my crashed PC. Just noticing this, what could have happened? The entire file folder in Program Files of FireFox is gone aswell (yes I checked x86 and normal Program Files, its really gone) EDIT: Skype & Chrome aswell. Did it erase parts of my HD?

Try looking in the "\system volume information" folders. Windows search typically does NOT include those folders. If you're lucky you'll find copies of your wallet there.

Permission Denied. How do I fix this?

Looks like your hard disk partition table (file indexing table) crashed. Files are still on the hard disk, but the index is lost, so windows don't know they existed, that may be why you cannot see them

Are you sure you have the correct partition? It sounds like you are looking at a different partition than the one that holds your windows 8 installation. You may be looking at a partition from your win 7 drive.

I am looking at the right partition unfortunately 100%. When I plug in the hdd from the crashed wi8 pc is shows up as "e:/". All other files are present, I now found a multibit shortcut in menu start and it leads to program files x86. Havent looked at the results of the deep scan, done with work in 3 hours. Really a nightmare guys I really hope any of you guys will have the answer. Bounty is 0,5btc
