- Posted by Krishna on July 2nd, 2008
my HDD partition is C: and D:. I have my data files in D:\. in order to
protect my data i had applied encrytion to all the folders and files in this
drive. recently my C: was formatted and Win XP was reinstalled...my D:\ was
not formatted...
Now i'm not able to open, view or worse even copy these files in D:\ i tried
removing the encryption by it displays a error message that "error in
applying attributes"
Can any one please let me know on how to decrypt the files and folders in
D:\ please help as i have valuable data in my D:|

Sorry, unless you saved the encryption certificate, it is not possible
to decrypt your files.

This won't be what you want to hear but:
Unless you exported the encryption certificates before you reinstalled
Windows, I'm afraid that you are SOOL. The decryption keys were overwritten
when you replaced Windows. There is (currently) no known way of recovering
the data.
