So Lets begin
In October 2013 - 14 i Started To mine BTC by my old Pc And On Win32Bit OperatingSys  
For about 9 months, I was repeatedly mining Bitcoin. And well, unlike now, it had no value in any way, not even in terms of price! But my thoughts and insight told me something different. Even though Bitcoin was something new and strange, I promoted it at school, and it was a sorrow for me and for those who didn't listen to me. Perhaps it was this despair from those around me that caused this great project in my mind to fail, and without any logic, I abandoned the file, the wallet, and so on...
That How Much I Remmemberd

And now, after a decade, I have connected my hard drive to a motherboard with a hard drive and operating system (i.e., 2 hard drives, the first of which contains a Wallet and the second hard drive includes the Windows operating system, etc.). Because I was sure there was no operating system on my hard drive.
On my first connection with Photorec, I extracted all the .dat files and saved them in flash.
I took the next steps with many types of recovery software! I even decided to search all the hard drives when I started 00053162, but no hexes were found.
Only once, I found a 00053162 in the header of a sector but; The continuation of the offset string had nothing to do with the continuation of the Barkeley db file, or perhaps it was corrupted.
I have no doubt that there are more than 200 Bitcoins stored in this wallet, which is worth millions of dollars, and I remember this number because I kept repeating it to my friend at school.

The fact that I can afford to buy a private jet and its crew for 5 years, but now I pay in installments to buy my car, and it drives me crazy.
________
On the other hand, I am not a greedy or unreasonable person. When the deal of 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas was taking place (around 10-12 years ago, I regretted it) I wondered why anyone would do such a thing. At one time, I had a heartfelt belief in Satoshi's project and promoted it in hopes of Bitcoin's future. And usually, people would make fun of me and ask: what kind of money is this? Money should be physical so you can put it in your pocket.  

Now, rather than looking to sell my bitcoins, I am focused on acquiring them and growing my assets to the level of a small whale. Moving the market and having my dear planktons stick with me definitely (perhaps for me) brings more pleasure than selling them to buy a private jet.

That's not true. Bitcoin was worth hundreds of dollars around that time.

I highly doubt your old PC could have mined tens of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin, as that was the value it had at the time. So your story doesn't add up.

Only once, I found a 00053162 in the header of a sector but; The continuation of the offset string had nothing to do with the continuation of the Barkeley db file, or perhaps it was corrupted.

Were your searching that header in hex?
Nevertheless, that length is quite short (2^32) so it's not surprising that it'll collide with some random file specially if your drive had a lot of files.

Because I was sure there was no operating system on my hard drive.

Then it's highly unlikely that it contains your wallet.dat file and private keys.
Because Bitcoin saves those in its datadir which isn't located where the binary (bitcoin-qt) is installed/downloaded, it's in the drive where the operating system is by default.
That's unless you specifically used a command line arg or config file to change to a custom datadir.

I'm not sure how can anyone help you after these attempts.
Other specific tools like pywallet --recover basically do the same.

IIRC Bitcoin ASIC miner exist since early 2013, while FPGA dominate BTC mining since 2012. So if you mined with PC CPU or GPU, i doubt you mined munch.

Have you made a raw copy of that HDD? It's useful to prevent accidentally write on that drive and get as much as raw data you can before the HDD condition become worse (more bad sector or corruption).

As LoyceV already said, the story doesn't add up. Already in midth of 2011 you needed some decent GPU power to mine crumbles of Bitcoin (pool mining, solo mining was already quite out of reasonable reach). "Old PC", lol, definitely not in 2013/2014, even GPU had no chance in that period.

Why is OP talking about Photorec and friends? I can't recall in his "story" that files were deleted or does "abandoned the file" means he foolishly deleted something. So much to his strong attachment to his Bitcoin dreams.

Yes, OP mentions few(?) read errors or bad sectors on his HDD. How reliable the numbers are is another story. You must be quite unlucky to have the damage at the worst spots to kill your wallet.dat, but shit happens sometimes...


200 bitcoins in 9 months without FPGA or ASIC miner in that period? Nonsense, you're wasting others time here!


If your HDD is degrading, the very first thing to do is a forensic image copy e.g. with ddrescue to get as much data off that disk before it further degrades or starts to fail in unrecoverable manners. There are chances that this leads to complete failure of your HDD, be warned.

What's the point of mentioning the Pizza Day event? Useless filling of your made-up story. The Pizza Day was in a completely different time and not relevant at all to your stuff.

Bitcoin-Qt 0.7.1 was released in 2012-10-19. Not sure why you would run that version when e.g. Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.0 was available from 2013-02-19 and 0.8.1 just a month later (no so important, though).


I don't buy your story... Anyway, I don't have to.
