File system - secure folder access

I have Win XP Pro with all updates, etc. I have two internal HD - one is C:,
the second is running multiple logical drives (applications, data, etc.). I
have all user data in a logical drive on the second HD (slave), one of these
folders was password protected under the administrator's user account.

I experienced a system crash due to a corrupted device driver or abstraction
layer problem - at which time I was instructed to re-format C: and to
re-install Win XP Pro on the master drive. I had no problems restoring the
system, but I could not open the password protected folder on the slave drive
afterwards - despite using the same Admin and user names/passwords. Explorer
recognizes the folder but denies access when I attempt to open it.

Does anyone have an idea about how I can gain access to the files in this
folder? Are they lost now forever?
 
Hi,

If the secure key file was erased it is still possible to restore it
using data recovery tools. Of them I can pose out Active@ Undelete.
This is a really mighty tool that worked for me before in a sligtly
simmilar situation. That might help indeed.
