Title: what's the best way to get the bitcoins out of an unused hard drive?
Post by: geeza23 on March 22, 2013, 05:13 am
so i broke my laptop by dropping it and basically the hard drive is still intact, I still have 3- 4 bitcoins left in there using the bitcoin.org client. what's the best way for me to transfer those coins to a different wallet?

i think the file you need is  wallet.dat.  after you have reinstalled on your new machine, replace with that file from the old drive and folder. i am not sure but you might need to make sure you have the same os as you had before. good luck
