Hello there,
Wasn't intending to unbury such an old thread, but since I've already created one in the past for the exact same issue, I decided not to open a new one. A few days ago, I stumbled on a few HDDs when clearing up old cabinets, along with my long-lost external HDD case and decided to have a quick look at one of the drives, which could have possibly had a wallet in the past.
Hooked up my drive, everything was running smoothly, didn't find anything interesting related with cryptocurrencies, so I decided to run Recuva.
After an hour or two of scanning, I found and restored two "default_wallet" files and one BitGo keycard, which I'm in the process of recovering the account. First and foremost, though, I wanted to fiddle with these two wallet files, which appear identical. Recuva is claiming that there were no overwritten sectors and the file appears in excellent condition, I have my doubts.
Thanks to HCP and the previous posters, I downloaded Hexinator again and tried reviewing the file, however, it looks corrupt to me. Can someone more experienced confirm, and if it is, can anything be done to restore it?
