Hi ! Im from Buenos Aires and "Software del plata" (MS
local tech service) couldn´t help me. I had a serious
problem with my HDD, I recover all files (Best way I can)
but this disk doesn´t boot as primary (I only can use it
as slave), then I install a new HDD as primary with a new
instalation of Windows XP Pro. Then so, I connect the
older HDD as a slave to copy my files, but as I can see I
cannot open any of then at all. Originaly all the files
where encrypted (Green color). I cannot copy from the old
disk to the newest, I cannot gain access to them but I can
see the files and the directories, too. What happend ? How
can I recover 8 GB of my datafiles ? Is there any program
who decrypt with older key in order to use my job ? In
advance, thanks a lot for your help. Stephen

Stephen;
Did you back-up everything?
If so restore the ORIGINAL Profile.

If the files are encrypted.
If you did not back-up the encryption key or the Recovery Agent and
are not on a domain, the files are as good as gone.
This must be accomplished while you have access to the files.
If you have not already done so, it is now to late.

If you can restore the original profile (not recreate) and know the
password, you may be able to recover the data.
Recreating profiles and passwords is irrelevant.
Contact Microsoft if you can restore the profile.

EFS is very good at what it does and there is no back door.

You asked this question a few days ago and the answer is still the
same.

If you din't back-up your creditials from your original account, YOU
CANNOT ACCESS THOSE FILES. Ther is no back door or crack available. It
doesn't matter where you're from or how many times you ask. The files are
lost to you. Your ISP can't help. Nobody can help you.

Look at it this way. You have put your files in a secure box, then threw
the key into another box with over 10 BILLION similar keys. You will not
live long enough to find that key.

EFS uses 128-bit key encryption. The fastest computer today wouldn't
find the proper key comination in less then a thousand years.

Try "Advanced EFS Data Recovery" -- it has been designed specially
for such situations:

Of course, it can help only if original encryption keys (at least,
some of them) are still on the old hard drive.
