Topic: HELP! i lost my wallet using system restore! - page 2. (Read 7445 times)
so i restored my computer to the 1/26/2012 before i made any changes to user profiles. and my wallet is still empty with a different bitcoin address. I found the wallet.dat file in %appdata%\bitcoin but it says it was created an hour ago. so that might be the wrong wallet.dat???
User Casascius has some experience with finding the wallet through disk sectors. I would recommend to stop using that filesystem ASAP and contact him to help you.
I know im a retard, i didnt back up my wallet. what happened was i had a user profile that was corrupted so i made a new user and deleted my corrupted user profile. then i realized that i didnt have bitcoin anymore so i did a system restore and my bitcoin wallet was empty with a different address! is there any possible way to recover my wallet?
Probably wasn't caused directly by system restore, but by deleting the profile. Wallet.dat is stored in %appdata%\Bitcoin in the specific user profile on windows.
