Recovering EFS data

by tharindus84 . Updated 21 years, 9 months ago

I I had some files encrypted (using the default WinXP encryption) in a NTFS volume (not the windows volume) in my hard disk. Some days ago, I formatted my windows partition and resized some partitions(including the one containing the encrypted files). Then I installed WinXP again. Now, although I log on as the same user as before, I can view the files but when i try to open them or copy those files.It gives an access denied error. The only command available is the delete. Those files are very important to me. I couldn’t save my EFS keys before formatting. Is there any way that I can recover the data?
