Need Help! I did something stupid with wallet.dat
-
I put my wallet.dat file on a usb stick and now it won’t let me transfer the file back where it belongs. What should I do? I sure hope I haven’t lost my coins. That would suck.
-
What OS? If windows it needs to be located in:
[quote]%APPDATA%/Feathercoin/[/quote]
Make sure the client is not running when you transfer and also make sure you delete the new wallet.dat file that the client will of re-created (presuming you have run the client since moving old wallet.dat to usb stick…)
You may need Admin privs, although not sure as I’m always Admin… -
No user is truly an admin in Windows unless you login as Administrator.

[/quote]You mean like this?
[code]net user administrator /active:yes[/code]
Like I said he may need administrator privileges IE: Run As?..

My dumbass had the client running in background and didn’t realize it. Once I cosed it, the file then transfered and the coins appeared. Thank goodness

Usual and easy mistake, Windows doesn’t like you forcing any gears, yet doesn’t seem to offer a clutch. :)
