Read my files on a XP efs volume

by n_toscani . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Yesterday, my HD collapsed.
It was no more able to boot, and is now connected by USB to my laptop.
I’ve a new disk in the laptop, new XP.

But I’ve an EFS XP folder on the old disk, and I was unable to open the files therein.
I never made a backup of EFS agent’s certificate and private key. But i can navigate the entire disk by usb.

There is a way to recover the certificate and private key from a disk that is no more bootable? I’ve the user login and password of the user owner of the folder, when the disk was up.

Thanks
Nico
