EFS problem

[Paul Crilley]

Please can somone help me. I have two partitions on my drive. I
decided to format and reinstall xp so I copied the documents and
settings folder across to the D: partition, but some of the files
would not go across (for example ntuser or something similar.)

After I installed windows I tried to access my encrypted files in the
D: drive so I can put them back into the My Documents folder, but it
wouldn't allow me to access them or move them. I've been reading up
on this all night and it is an efs security issue. Now, the folders I
_do_ have in my D:\Application data\Microsoft folder are: AddIns.
Address Book. Credential. Crypto. Html help. internet Explorer. Media
Player. MMC. Office. Outlook. proof. Protect. SystemCertificates.
Templates. Windows. Word.

Now, I have two certificates in here somewhere that I managed to get
into the certmgr.msc\personal and the trusted certificates, but I
still cannot gain access to my docs. I've read the knowledge base
articles, but nothign is helping me. It's driving me mad. i have a
half finished novel sitting in the folder that I cannot get access
to. Is there any way to manually put the files from D: into the
proper folder on C:?

Anyone?

help?
