Dear friends, in 2012 I had 1-2 Bitcoins in my 500gb HDD, that HDD is still running in a computer I built for my mom, she does nothing but browse the web, and it has only been formatted once. Someone told me if I used Linux OS and some tools I might be able to recover it.
I have no idea on any of this, so please advise if this is possible, because at 20k per coin now almost... I am really really looking at all my options on recovering it.
If not it is fine, but yeah, worth a shot. Please advise.
***UPDATE FROM OP***
"I was not able to recover and upon thinking about it some more I don't know that I ever even got the wallet setup correctly or what wallet I was even trying to use, I remember giving up on mining fairly quickly back then due to a worry about electricity charges and I didn't want to upset my Dad since he paid the bill, had I known what it would become someday... hindsight is 20/20 for many things in life though, so I will leave that be"
