Curiosity on the reinstallation of the GCC wallet

Today, I will say a few words about a certain situation, which took place a few days ago. after returning to work it turned out that the portfolio that was updating colleague. Prior to July 18 was made to update and everything worked flawlessly. I'll just add that there was a great fear because the portfolio did not yet Coins. They Byra on because after the July 20 release time has passed. After opening the wallet and the GCC so only we checked to confirm the addresses of the portfolio. To our surprise, it turned out that the GCC is another address on your wallet and a different address.
This unfortunately is a problem because it is not looking at the place where found anywhere mozaraby enter a new address book GCC. The case began to do all that interesting, but together with the owner of the portfolio began to assert what happened. From word to word, and it turned out that while I was on vacation buddy installed a new operating system. 
Of course, no one did because the database copy and like what if the wallet was not coins. The first idea which came to our mind is whether it is possible to try to find a disk folder or file with the string of GCC. Finding nothing could. A colleague decided to use a different program than the search engine releases of Windows. There are a lot of web pages. After searching drives the program Total Commander turned out that during the installation and synchronization portfolio of some files, among others, the database record on drive C. Additionally, the location can not be found by Windows Search because they are of hidden status. In any operating system directory containing these files may be in different locations. The most important is the first to locate it. In Windows 10, these files are located in the following location

c: \ Users \ NazwaUzutkownika \ AppData \ Roaming \ TheGCC
I will say straight away that my colleague had a lot of luck because the system installed on the new SSD drive and format the old yet. Typically, the system reinstalls on the same disk, and then there is little possibility of recovering the old data. 
Since we already know that the system itself creates its catalog GCC is a lichen looked it up on the hard disk which was previously the system. We went to the least resistance and tan catalog przekopiowaliĹ›my from the old location to a drive on which the system is currently installed in the same place, or exchanged directories.
After starting the GCC portfolio and check the addresses of the portfolio with the GCC side it turned out that both are the same. Of course, we commissioned a test transfer from the GCC to check if everything is in order. It was Thursday and we received information that it may take up to two days after the weekend so I probably will be able to check if it actually works. 
Honestly now I recommend everyone take a copy of the portfolio even when nothing else on it is not. Or, putting it only as you have the opportunity to send their coins on the GCC. I think that a copy of the database would certainly existed in the case described FOR IN ZemnĂ­ if there were coins.
On our computer encountered another problem, namely that tried to install a new portfolio for the same user, and it turned out that after installing the address book was different but he can not synchronize. 
Now it will be a longer deal with this in a different way and I will describe in the next post can today.
