Hi,

I had one folder with Windows XP EFS encryption on my external hd. My PC crashed and now I cannot access this folder as I didn't backup the Recovery Agent for those encrypted folders!

Is there any way for me to open those encrypted files? I've tried using the software "Advanced EFS Data recovery", but nothing so far... Please help me!

Thanks,

You need to have the certificate to reaccess those files, otherwise those files are lost and unrecoverable....
