Hi. A couple of years ago, I encrypted my "My Documents" folder, at the
request of my company. Shortly afterwards, we switched to a program that
encrypts the entire hard drive, and I forgot that my data files were also
encrypted by Windows.
I got a new computer, made a backup of the entire hard drive on my old
machine, and disposed of my old machine. My new box has a different version
of XP.
1 - Can I use my entire backup from DVD to restore my keys/certs/whatever?
2 - Must I do a complete restore to do this recovery, or can I just restore
parts?
(I do not have a recovery agent, nor did I back up my keys/certs. Please do
not direct me to any of Microsoft's oh-so-helpful sites. They directed me to
this forum.)
