Hey All...
I have WinXPSP2...
I had had encrypted my "My Documents" folder in my C:
Then I copied the files in "My Documents" to a folder in my E: as Backup as I wanted to Clean format C: and reinstall WinXPSP2 on C:
The mistake I made was, I forgot to unencrypt my backup.
Now I cannot access these files which r on my E:
Here's what has happened till now:
I can view the file size and properties and also view the Encryption Certificate.........but it says that it cannot find the Private key.
I have tried EFS recovery softwares, but these did not work as they just search for deleted encryption certificates, & since I clean formatted n reinstalled XP, none are found matching the ones applied on those files.......
The thing is, my compname & account name & even the password are exactly the same as my earlier installation........hence it at least allows me to view the certificate on the files.........
BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY ADVANCED METHOD TO RECOVER MY DATA.....
