Unless you have a backup, you can't recover the private key. However, there are chances you can recover deleted files (unfortunately, if you reinstalled everything in the same hard drive where you had your keyring, the chance is very small... and becomes smaller each time you write something in the hard drive). Now, I am talking about recovering files with the help of recovery software... I am not talking about sending the hard drive to an specialized laboratory... > from old backup i have some info on my key.

Did you recovered the trustdb? What files do you have in the backup? If you have a file named secring.gpg then there is a big chance you can recover the key... Tell us more about the files in your backup... look for files with 'asc' extension... like mykey_key-pair.asc or something like that... > Is there any way i can recover my private key? Only if it was backed up, or the area in the hdd where the key was stored has not been overwritten... unfortunately, I am not a mac user, so I don't know about any recovery software for macs...
