Seeing this on starting Bitcoin:
And then this when the cliengt is fully loaded, so yes, fully synced:
https://blockchain.info/address/14TDV1QqzVAE2dYvwxGswyCDSvVyR5eXdQ
From Bitminter:
2013.05.07 - 21:11 Cash out to 14TDV1QqzVAE2dYvwxGswyCDSvVyR5eXdQ Transfer to BTC address 2.00673530 BTC
2013.05.05 - 15:53 Cash out to 14TDV1QqzVAE2dYvwxGswyCDSvVyR5eXdQ Transfer to BTC address 10.02281357 BTC
2013.04.24 - 10:34 Cash out to 14TDV1QqzVAE2dYvwxGswyCDSvVyR5eXdQ Transfer to BTC address 10.05643175 BTC
I'm under the impression that I should either have all of the coins at 14TDV1QqzVAE2dYvwxGswyCDSvVyR5eXdQ ... or none of them.
Help?

Yes, I did a completely new install of Windows on a separate hard drive - so it has the latest Bitcoin client.
I mean is it fully sync'd?

I was able to salvage a wallet that sort of repaired itself. However, out of the 22.7 BTC, it is missing 10 BTC, which is actually one transaction... so one trans is missing from the wallet :-/
I guess it's a great start, now not sure if I can recover the rest.

Is your Bitcoin client updated ? and try to export your private key.
If you got it back your money is back.

Long story short:
It appears that ALL of my data is intact and works. PDFs, mp3s, mkvs, xlsx, vsd, etc - anything important I cared about. Except one thing: my bitcoin wallet.
I've went through a few threads and found pywallet recovery, bitcointools, and I think one other thing. I can't seem to get anything to work.
I have a .dat file, which correct me if I'm wrong, appears to be my key that encrypts my wallet. Then in my C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin - I have directory structure that looks like it's all there. I have wallet.dat, wallet_000.dat, wallet_001.dat, wallet_002.dat, and other files.
If I install bitcoin-qt on a brand new machine and move these .dat files to the directory, Bitcoin just tells me wallet.data corrupt, salvage failed.
I continously get this error in my Linux VM (or even my live disk for that matter):
Anyone have any pointers?
- Running RAID0
- Updated Mobo Bios - broke fakeraid
- Was going to use TestDisk to rebuild the MBR, screwed up and acidentally "quick formatted" the array
- Used TestDisk, PhotoRec, and another piece of software to rebuild the inode index and get all of my data back
