Character Recovery

Posted this before in the New player discussion, figured this would be more appropriate. I'll leave them both up for now.

Is there any way to recover my character?

I have 2 drives, a SSD with my OS, and a HDD with my Steam folder and arma 2/dayz folders. After reinstalling windows and logging back in, my character is MIA. I tried verifying my ARMA 2 file in steam and it does nothing. I'm told that the characters are bound to your key. Why is it then that I don't have my character? How do I get it back?

well you character is not saved on your pc but on the dayz server so as long as you use the same cd key to install your copy of arma 2 oa it should be your old character.
