      Hi,

      I had my wallet on drive D.

      Windows 10 on Drive C crashed and I had to reinstall.

      The wallet on drive D is still there but now empty. I fully synced the wallet but my coins are gone.

      What confuses me, that the wallet.dat on drive C in the wallet folder has a date from before the crash.

      What can I do?

      Edit: I checked %appdata% but there is no Feathercoin folder and no wallet.dat.

        Did you made a backup of your wallet.dat before you made the reinstallation? Because normally your wallet.dat is on your C drive which would mean the coins are gone. Do you have a different adress on you new wallet now?

          @orgi34 said in How to restore FTC Wallet:

          %appdata%

          I hate windows for this, but it looks like you were really on C: and when wndblows crashed you lost the contents of %appdata%.

          Otherwise, check your new wallet is synced, look to check where it is installed. Copy in the wallet.dat from your D : drive, and cross fingers no coins is due to it not syncing yet …

            Well C: is gone. Did not make a backup because Windows crashed and I thought my wallet safe on drive D. Wallet is synced.

            That really sucks.

            Why the hell is there a wallet.dat in the Feathercoin Folder on drive D?

              @orgi34 - It is very difficult to diagnose such issues by “Radar”, if one was at the PC I would look at dates an creation times and search around for what might have happened. If you created it on D : and saw it before it should still be there.

              If the coins are not there check again where the wallet.dat is and copy in the one from your D : drive.

              If you created it on the D : drive check the blank one is not in the root directory, or in a subdirectory of the feathercoin folder (i.e. accidently created the new one somewhere else.)

                Where exactly is the wallet.dat supposed to be located?

                Reinstalled the wallet now in a different directory on D but there is no folder under %appdata%.

                Where does the wallet save the wallet.dat?

                  It is impossible to answer that question without access to you computer.

                  From what you say the explanation is

                  1. You “really” installed on C : not D : - you lost the wallet.dat of C: when it crashed.

                  What you might try? try to recover the C : drive with photorec / testdisk

                  otherwise Your original wallet.dat of D: (what is the size? what is the date? have you viewed the file contents?) could be copied back to the D : install folder or if you installed to the same directory the coins would appear after a sync.

                  Do you know anyone who is good at computers?
