My old hard drive failed on me and became unbootable. I migrated all my files onto the new hard drive with the old as a slave. I doubly encrypted some sensitive files with Microsoft EFS and Axcrypt (so I’m doubly screwed I think)…I have the passphrases for Axcrypt, but the I did not back up certificates from the old hard drive. I do have access the the drive, but it is not bootable. I have read some other threads along the same line, but most of the time the drive was written over…Is there any hope for me to recover these files?

This guy seems to think its possible, but I’m having a hard time making sense of it all.
