Data Recovery Efs
EFS Data Recovery?
Hello,
I have been using windows Xp Pro, and I was using a usernave : Kamal and a password that is xxx. Recently Without knowing I encrypted the files in D Drive (D:) that was having a NTFS partition. Recently my computer was attacked with spyware and it was formatted ( C: ) by my service engineer, after that when I tried to open those files….!!! I’m unable to open a single file, I tried the whole week searching the net for some tools, but nothing works. Please give me a right solution. Please………..
If you used EFS (encrypting file system) you need to be logged in as that user (WITH the certificate) to decrypt the files.
The only other way is if you designated a DRA account (data recovery agent) with those privileges.
If you did not back up the certificate.. then there is no way to recover the information..sorry. Check for system backups that may contain the certificate…
good luck.
