Wallet.dat missing?

[flytosky]

What version of windows? If its Vista+ then getting it back is easy peasy.... enter VSS ( a godsend for situations like this)

Right click on the folder where wallet.dat should be, select 'restore previous versions' ... if VSS is set up properly on ur system you will see several folders listed w/ date stamps .. if so, just open a folder that has a timestamp before your wallet.dat went missing, and copy wallet.dat out of it and into the spot where its missing.
Problem solved.

search all your drives for wallet.dat !

maybe you had assigned the data directory to a different location on your previous install.

Mine is on a different Drive than C:

If it can't open the wallet.dat file, I think it renames it and creates a new one. I could be wrong, but it definitely creates a blk0001.dat file and replaces the wallet.dat. I've had several wallet's do that. I'm not sure what causes it. I would check to see if you have that file though.
