Decryption of files and folders
Posted by Krishna on July 2nd, 2008


Hi,
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:|

Also is there any way i can add new users certificate who can share and
access the files and folders

Posting this multiple times to multiple groups will not change things,
your files are forever lost.

The problem is that there isn't anyone with authority to do that, you
flushed the credentials when you formatted the drive containing them.
