I’m just focusing on R-Studio since I’ve got a license for a bit longer. I’ll spend time learning regex in it. I remember the tech did copy the C drive when formatting D, so here’s hoping.

I compared R-Studio and X-ways. Yeah, X-ways is super advanced, but I only need regex features. If I find a corrupted file, could you help me fix it?

You mean Pywallet when you say open-source? Gonna download X-ways today and see if I can find the files you mentioned.

R-Studio is said to be the most advanced forensic tool out there, but I dunno about that. If your wallet's from 2009, that header should be valid. But can I use it to create a known file type for hex search?

Is Pywallet better than R-Studio? I get that formatting changes data to zero, making it look like free space. So, if I want to recover, I guess I’d need to use R-Studio's Hex Signature search with the known file type.

Hey guys, Just found an old HDD where I was mining Bitcoin ages ago. The thing is, it got formatted after a fresh OS install. What would be the best tool for trying to recover my wallet.dat? Is R-Studio Pro worth it?
